> And it’s hard to believe Carta’s response to my board letter of October 2022 — trying desperately to signal my worry that the company’s leadership was breaking the law and putting the business at risk — would be to hire a forensic firm to recover a copy of my personal Apple iMessage history and publish private messages with enthusiastically-consenting sexual and romantic partners that had nothing whatsoever to do with the company…and then use those messages as a pretext to falsely accuse me of harassment and discrimination
emphasis on "enthusiastic". i get what Dr. Talton was going for here but it made me laugh that he had to put his partners' enthusiasm on the record (and the not so funny side: it is extremely f'ed up that Carta put his private affairs into public record in the first place. i'm not looking it up and i feel sorry for Dr. Talton.)
> When I finally decided that — as a fiduciary — I had no choice but to write to Carta’s board, I hoped that my record of accomplishment and my commitment to the company would ensure I was taken seriously.... And if I, a 40-year-old 6’2” cis white guy in the C-suite with a Stanford PhD, couldn’t speak up, who could?
amen. very well written and it seems the case is building against Carta's CEO.
