Yeah it seems like not entirely candid may turn out to be something like "he said he was a super-doomer and pinky swore it to us, but then we realized he wasn't doomer enough for us". If it's not malfeasance about finance, business, safety or security practices and is merely a "breakdown in communications" then that rules out virtually everything that could justify such an abrupt firing. Sounds like there's no legal problems to worry about, leaving an incompetent board as the only obvious possibility left. When I was younger I remember thinking non-profit orgs were awesome and hoping to work in that space one day. This + the Wikimedia Foundation funding scandal + the proliferation of "misinformation" NGOs has really turned me off the whole concept. Nonprofits seem to have more than their fair share of problematic governance. There's something about commercial trade that grounds people.
