Yes, 95% agreement in any company is unprecedented but:
1. They can get equivalent position and pay at the new Microsoft startup during that time, so their jobs are not at risk.
2. Sam approved each hire in the first place.
3. OpenAI is selecting for the type of people who want to work at a non-profit with a goal in mind instead of another company that could offer higher compensation. Mission driven vs profit driven.
Either way on how they got to that conclusion of banding together to quit, it was a good idea, and it worked. And it is a check on power for a bad board of directors, when otherwise a board of directors cannot be challenged. "OpenAI is nothing without its people".

Mission driven vs profit driven. Maybe that was the case at some point, but clearly not anymore ever since the release of ChatGPT. Or did you not see them offer completely absurd compensation packages, i.e. to engineers leaving Google? I'd bet more than half the people are just there for the money.
