I'm actually underwhelmed that this is all that discovery turned up in this case. Like, we still don't even have the actual reason for Altman's firing. Just a bunch of people who didn't "trust" him or felt he was "candid." What die he actually do? How did he mislead the board? What were these so-called "crisis" events? What did he consistently lie about? Who did he undermine and why? Was all this just based on the emotional state of a few guys who barely talk to each other? All of this sounds more like a high school girls clique than a hundred billion dollar company board ran by adults.

Nadella's "amateur city" testimony seems to be the best summary we'll get: A bunch of people with waaay to much money and power and no clue what they are doing. If this case shows anything, it's that the industry needs to be regulated heavily.

Reminds me of:

“In his presence, reality is malleable. He can convince anyone of practically anything. It wears off when he’s not around, but it makes it hard to have realistic schedules.”

He's taking a lot of heat. Leave him alone.
