OpenAI has been around for 8 years and has hundreds of employees. So it would be surprising if there wasn't at least some ex-employees somewhere that had chips on their shoulders, either for valid or completely invalid reasons.

I'd say the number of employees openly standing with Altman is a much more important data point.
