View submission: An old team at reddit
OK now I'm actually quite angry. Not at you (well a bit) but at reddit's community and at the unfairness of this whole thing.
You set the strategic direction at reddit.
You made the changes (most of which I actually agree with BTW) that made the community unhappy
You fired Victoria without a proper handover plan.
You failed to tell the mods.
You mishandled the PR (popcorn etc...)
So /u/ekjp's the one that gets hounded out of her job by a bunch of misogynists with their disgusting threats and you stay sitting pretty and get to have your old mate as Ellen's replacement?
There might be such a think as Karma but there's clearly no such thing as karma.

Well… after reading this comment[1] by yishan (even though the last line makes it seem like a 'joke')— I'm not so sure there was no plan concerning AMAs. If anything, it seems more like ensuring that one of reddit's biggest draws was directly in their hands.

Calm down. Pao was a HORRIBLE CEO and deserved to be let go. This doesn't mean Alexis is any better. She UNDERPERFORMED which is why she is gone, bad fit to the job. Her gender nor race had nothing to do with it. Nothing. Probably kept her longer in the job than she deserved.
