Like if I say to my boss, "Hey I want to reduce my position to 50% to spend 50% of my time working for this other company", and they respond with "Sorry, we don't want part-time employees", and I respond "ok I quit", who in their right mind would describe that as me getting fired?
- falcor84 2y agoDid he actually ask to reduce his position? As far as I'm aware, being a CEO is never based on hours worked, and there are plenty of other CEOs with multiple commitments.
- mort96 2y agoThe way the tweet is phrased makes me think he was asked by the board to choose, so I guess a more appropriate analogy would be: I'm employed by a company, I start a side gig which I spend 50% of my productive time on, my boss eventually tells me that they need someone in my position to be a proper full time employee and I need to choose. I respond, "okay, in that case I resign". There's no difference between the two analogies in my eye, they're the same except that the first is about asking permission while the second is about just doing it.
