Anyone else wondering if this was all planned? Maybe Riccitiello was planning to retire and the board asked him to play bad cop and announce the new fee structure. After he is gone they will announce something slightly more agreeable that will look good in comparison. Maybe I'm just too cynical...
- j_maffe 3y agoI think you are, in fact, too cynical. They've already announced the new fee structure which is a lot more sensible. And before you go "that's how they wanted people to react to the final structure", there's no way how this thing unfolded came to the benefit of the company and they'd have been idiots if this was in any way the plan.
- octygen 3y agoThis is not cynical - it's a common/smart play with little downside taking advantage of a bad situation (e.g., like the CEO being hated in general by the community).
