Tanium is facing employee unrest and an executive exodus

Huh? Sure, the employee could sit through the CEO taking a dump on them in front of their coworkers, but if the employee has other options for employment, I'd say there isn't a usually solid reason to stick around a hostile work environment.

The bridge is already burned with the CEO, and your unlikely to burn the bridge any worse with your direct boss/coworkers by quiting immediately versus a few days/a week later. Might actually gain some respect from them which could net you a job later down the line at another firm one of your coworkers ends up at!

That being said, its all corporate politics, so it is hard to derisk it, and you should try to be aware of as much of the political situation as possible before making a move.

Edit: added last paragraph to clarify.

I'm not talking about the CEO's victim. I'm talking about every employee that watched him victimize a team member.

Ah, that makes more sense, was trying to figure that out. I've usually waited a bit before quitting so I could line up a new job when I've been an employee witnessing a coworker get beat down on by management needlessly.

There must be 50 ways to leave your lover.

If you've made up your mind, you can just tell them off and walk out. You can take your sweet time and interview while you still have a paycheck and benefits. You can wait until the cliff and leave the next day. You can give two weeks notice.

It's your choice just as it's their choice.

Last company I left I did working till the last minute, on my own unpaid time. I've been treated so well and we shared such a strong spirit of unity in the good and bad times that I can't regret it. No body was ever bullied. Main difference with other tech companies I worked for before:

CEO is a woman.

Actually flies in the face of my own anecdotal experience.

CEO is a woman.

Definitely, there are a ton of ways to end a relationship, whether it be an employment relationship or social one. I prefer short & definitive endings myself, so long as I'm ready for it to end.

Letting a bad relationship hang on is just bad for my health, I gain a ton of weight and stress!
