  Kagan told TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington about Facebook's plans to expand beyond college students to a professional social network for companies like Microsoft and Apple... A few weeks later, Kagan was fired. [Kagan] tried to use his role at Facebook to make a name for himself... used to host startup gatherings at Facebook's headquarters... frequently wrote blog posts on his personal site about Facebook's business... Zuckerberg asked [Kagan] to choose between himself and Facebook. Somehow, Kagan still didn't get the message, and he wasn't able to save his job. https://archive.is/PuZwW https://archive.is/PuZwW / https://www.businessinsider.com/how-noah-kagan-got-fired-from-facebook-and-lost-185-million-2014-8 https://www.businessinsider.com/how-noah-kagan-got-fired-fro...

    > Zuckerberg asked [Kagan] to choose between himself and Facebook. I guess that is what Kagan meant by this: > When your team feels like an owner, they will act as an owner.
