And you are a case in point; spez (Steve Huffman, CEO) actually made those decisions and used Pao as a fall-woman.

- sangnoir 10y ago> And you are a case in point I wasn't aware that spez was co-CEO with ekjp... I thought he only became CEO afterwards. Even if the board/spez forced her to make all of the unpopular decisions (there were many), the buck still stopped with her as the CEO[1], fall-woman or not. Also, why did spez want Victoria gone? He made Ellen Pao fire her too, right? 1. https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/3cbo4m/we_apologize/ https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/3cbo4m/we_ap...
- deminature 10y agoActually kn0thing/co-founder Alexis Ohanian fired Victoria, but Ellen Pao ended up taking the blame for that too. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/3d2hv3/kn0thing_says_he_was_responsible_for_the_change/ct1fsoi/?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/3d2hv3/kn0t... Note, I'm not affiliated with Pao, I just thought her treatment by the reddit community was extremely disappointing.
