In 2023, the tech world was subjected to somewhat of a spectacle after OpenAI's board of directors unceremoniously ousted Sam Altman as company CEO for not being “consistently candid” with his leadership, operations, and efforts.
The decision received backlash from employees, who in solidarity, flooded social media with posts indicating "OpenAI is nothing without its people." Within a span of five days, Sam Altman was reinstated as OpenAI's CEO again.
