Absolutely agree, would be beyond pissed. A once in a lifetime chance at generational wealth blown.

These people joined a non-profit though. Am I right in thinking that you wouldn't join a non-profit expecting a large future payout?

The employees joined the for profit subsidiary and had shares as well.

I really can't imagine. I am super pissed and only over something I love that I pay 20 bucks a month for. I can't imagine the feeling of losing this kind of payout over what looks like complete bullshit. Not just the payout but being part of a team doing something so interesting and high profile + the payout.
I just don't know how they put the pieces back together here.
What really gets me down is I know our government is a lost cause but I at least had hope our companies were inoculated against petty, self-sabotaging bullshit. Even beyond that I had hope the AI space was inoculated and beyond that of all companies OpenAI would of course be inoculated from petty, self-sabotaging bullshit.
These idiots worried about software eating us are incapable of seeing the gas they are pouring on the processes that are taking us to a new dark age.
Imagine your once-in-blue-moon, whatsapp-like, payout at $10m per employee evaporated over the weekend before Thanksgiving.
I would have joined MSFT out of spite.
