I wonder how that would work.... with nobody really in charge, it seems like things would fall apart, but maybe not....

Very sad. Too long to copy/paste

The unstructured framework largely works in a office/corporate environment, so long as everyone knows their responsibilities. Most everybody had a mentor that they worked with, which is something I think is lacking outside of certain professional fields. If your work was suffering, you were more into the party environment and not doing the work, you got a few speaking sessions and ultimately shown the door.

As a sales rep who sold to Zappos, from my perspective, they were fantastic to deal with, they were a pleasurable account to manage. There was no confusion or, issues as to who is who, and if I needed to elevate an issue or, get some answers, speak to a company officer, wasn't an issue.

have read a couple longer articles on this the last couple days including the Forbes one above

basically he went nuts (he was already a 'weird' guy to start with apparently)

chalk him up as another Covid mental health casualty i guess
