Not all the people who left worked for DHH, who is the CTO.

OTOH, if the CTO is a terrible boss, there’s a very good chance that the rest of the C-suite is suboptimal, since executives generally aren’t picked at random, so there is probably some correlation across the group. And, then, down the chain of management, for the same reasons.

DHH is a co-founder. He's a boss of everyone, whether he's in the reporting line or not.

The c-suite is DHH and Fried. Three of the people who left are department heads, who report directly to them. https://github.com/basecamp/handbook/blob/master/orgchart.md

What about Ryan Singer? He’s C suite, right? And he’s been very quiet about the whole thing.

"Head of Product Strategy", apparently. Could be c-suite? Staying quiet is probably the best option available
