Reading through his post, it doesn't sound like the goal was to change things - he just didn't want to be co-responsible for them.
That said, it doesn't sound like there was much more he could've done to change things from the inside-out; and even though it might not be the intention, this public statement does sound like it might contribute to changing it anyway.
- bigiain 7y ago> Reading through his post, it doesn't sound like the goal was to change things I think he did everything he could think of to change things: "At that point I snapped. VPs shouldn’t go publicly rogue, so I escalated through the proper channels and by the book. I’m not at liberty to disclose those discussions, but I made many of the arguments appearing in this essay. I think I made them to the appropriate people." with no result, and no evident likelyhood of positive change. Which is why he had to quit.
- Vinnl 7y agoYeah that's what I meant: it doesn't sound like the goal was to change things by resigning. Rather, it was admission that since he could not change things, and he also didn't want to be part of them, the only option was to resign.
