That argument really falls flat when you realize that this guy is the co-founder and CEO, i.e. he was already there and in charge when these people decided to join him. If you don't like a company's leadership, obviously don't go work there. If you do, then decide you don't like them, obviously you quit. A 5-year old could understand that.

Brian armstrong: Buys $133M LA property and pockets $1.3B in share sales with co-founders.
Brian armstrong: We need to lay-off 18% of our workforce to stay healthy as a company.
Brian armstrong: Doesn't slash his $60M compensation to help retain some staff who've contributed to building the company.
Also, Brian armstrong: I take accountability.
