NPM CEO Bryan Bogensberger Resigned

No C-level exec resigns "effective immediately" without either a transition plan in place or something concrete lined up. I get wanting to allow him to say he resigned instead of he was fired, but the silly language of the press release just makes it worse.

Story is all about his “success” and desire to seek new opportunities- why not a few sentences about the ongoing labor related litigation.

This is PR, not real life.

Under Bryan Bogensberger's leadership, npm lost: - its CTO - its COO co-founder - some fantastic people in the JavaScript community - a federal labor dispute - its culture - its reputation - its business model to Github

Don't know if they lost anything at all to GitHub (yet).

But let's see how Entropic and GH package registries turn out.

I wish companies would do away with the "leaving to pursue other opportunities" nonsense and just give no reasons if they don't want to discuss it. No C-level exec resigns "effective immediately" without either a transition plan in place or something concrete lined up. I get wanting to allow him to say he resigned instead of he was fired, but the silly language of the press release just makes it worse.

Maybe “he wants to spend more time with family”?
