He was busy hitting Twitter pretty hard during the day, throwing some shade at Apple. No mention of company, employees, anything.
That's bad optics, regardless of how you're feeling. If you're sick, you're sick. If you're too sick to deal with the most pressing issue your company is facing, you should consider yourself too sick to devote chunks of time to Twitter feuds.

The bit about deleting the emails is discussed in the article.
Bad
> - Deleted internal threads that would go against their narrative of why they did so
I am not sure where you are getting this, but I might have missed it.
> - Had a conservative senior employee go off about politics on the call discussing the new no politics policy.
Yes, on 90th minute - we are not sure what was said before that.
> - refused to reprimand said employee on the call
For what? I don't understand.
> - had one founder take this extremely sensitive call from his bed with his camera off and on mute.
We all can be sick sometimes, certainly would be better to it in some other way, but maybe he was just that sick?
- After the employees resigned, did not send any sort of public message thanking them for their time at the company.
Pretty bad, especially considering comments from Highrise employee in this thread.
