It looks like it was originally just a channel on Slack, that eventually evolved into a “team” without Mullenweg paying much attention to it.

The Sustainability agenda , quoted by the article, appears excessive to me as well - and it resonates with me why Mullenweg is asking for a different approach.

With the dramas going on, shutting down the channel was a dick move , though.




This still reflects badly on the leader:

- Stuff going on you're not aware of?

- Things spiraling out of control/becoming self-directed?

- You forgetting what you did or said a few months/years ago, and getting mad on others in consequence?

- Your intentions not well understood?

All of this is on you (the leader). That's reason for resignation.

The behavior around it is just childish IMO. I wonder how this affects him being able to do his job.

Forgetting? That’s a lot of good faith on your part. Where in the time of people denying everything even with undeniable video/audio evidence and their target audience believes them. If you don’t believe then you were not the target audience and are irrelevant

Bingo. If someone wants to be the leader, then they have to deal with leadership. That means that everything going on under your leadership is your responsibility. We've let this slide as a society, letting leaders take credit for successes and then blaming others for failures.
