I don't think releasing a messaging app that flops is bad? If getting a messaging app to succeed was easy then there would be more successes at it.

For any employee, it's s short stint to list on a resume that will make them less attractive to recruiters for the rest of their careers. "Why were you only at FooBarCorp for Baz months?" (Oh, wonderful - how do I explain without throwing anyone under the bus?)
