Yishan really quit over a disagreement about an office? That seems like a straw that broke the camel's back situation. Or he's unstable?

- teraflop 12y agoThis was heavily discussed back when it happened, but he says it's true: http://www.quora.com/Why-did-Yishan-Wong-resign-as-Reddit-CEO/answer/Yishan-Wong?srid=X&share=1 http://www.quora.com/Why-did-Yishan-Wong-resign-as-Reddit-CE...
- yafujifide 12y agoYes, he quit over a disagreement about the precise location of the office. Definitely camel's back. Reddit has been through a lot of turmoil recently: 1) Moving entire remote company to SF 2) Raising $50 million 3) Many employees, sometimes key, quitting 4) Celebgate The disagreement over Daly City/SF probably just put Yishan over the top. Since then, more turmoil: 6) Yishan quit 7) Entire company actually performs the relocation 8) A new office is found and moved to in SF 9) New executives take over. Probably some power struggles which I didn't see. 10) New product plan is laid out for 2015. Does not include cryptocurrency.
- colmvp 12y agoI just want to thank you for your transparency.
- yafujifide 12y agoFor sure! I'm a strong believer in transparency. Trying my best to be open and honest.
- pluma 12y ago> Celebgate AKA The Fappening, the massive celebrity photo leak/hack last year. Just in case anyone else didn't pay enough attention at the time to have heard of both terms. Apparently Reddit was in a bit of a pickle because subreddits were created to spread the photos and not all of them were strictly against the site's terms.
