It's important because right now everyone, OpenAI employees included, has no idea why Sam Altman was fired. And now we're being told that we may or may not hear the reason in 30 days.
What could the reason be that would justify this kind of wait?
I'll point out that Sam also doesn't seem to want to say the reason (possibly he's legally forbidden?). And all of the people following him out of OpenAI don't know, and are simply trusting him enough to be willing to leave without knowing.

Satya and gdb know. I would guess most of management/leadership that followed him also know.

Why would you assume this? I wouldn’t. (They’d probably know if it’s something like fraud or embezzlement. But not if it was Sam lying to the non-profit board while being honest with shareholders.)

No kidding, clearly they were being poached and were not being open about it in spite of their sensitive positions in OpenAI.

But he just got the job and I'm sure many people are on PTO/leave for holidays. Give the guy some time. (And this is coming from someone who is pretty bearish on OpenAI going forward, just think it's fair to Shear)
