I don't see it as a jab at the Czech Republic. But I think it is highly unusual for a CEO to be based out of a country that doesn't have any kind of Company HQ or significant base of operations, and which is 7 hours ahead of the TZ of the Company HQ based in Chicago. I mean, that arrangement might work for some kind of employees, but for a CEO in this case it's a bit odd I guess
