I’m pretty ignorant about all this, but this type of loyalty to one guy feels very cult-like. Do the employees actually think this guy gives a shit about them?

Also, the rumours say that the board wants a careful approach while Altman wants to blast ahead without ethical concerns. I'm definitely not on his side

Employees are joining in the coup in the hope of joining Microsoft. I wonder if Microsoft is gonna pull a rug on them and only hire the key employees in the pack and ditch the rest of them
