Awfully convenient, too.

They got to cancel a town hall where they'd be addressing the controversy the C-suite unleashed.

Absolute shame, that.

To be fair, it is believable that an employee would want to kill their boss over this. The boss has a golden parachute, the rank and file employees don't.

At what point do employees have the right to sue the boss for "deliberately harming the company?" That's what it will take to not only stop this action (that will probably happen anyway if you truly think the worst of their boss), but prevent the boss from profiting off of sleazy stock trading.

At this point, the only true happy ending is the complete ruination of just that one man.

The percentage of his sell-off was small. Shareholders are at fault for encouraging psychotic behaviors of publicly traded companies. Along with voters for not understanding that regulatory capture benefits all the well-connected vultures in banking and finance.

The Ex-EA shithead cashed out 2000 shares, or 80K. Upper Echelon reported in that video he notes that a another (less viral) exec sold 2/3rds of her stock the same day.

I fact checked it. Note Robynne Sisco's insider trades: 25,768 sold, 14,700 retained as of 9/6/23. A cool million cash-out.

Just for laughs, how many shares does the CEO still own?

3,211,394 Directly (Dollar value of position?), with another 424,704 marked indirect, if I'm reading his SEC filing correctly. His trading strategy seems to be to sell any of the Indirect options as he gets them, as the 2000 shares indicated were sold. He hasn't touched his direct holdings-- which are massive compared to the options he's selling.

EDIT: By comparison, Robynne Sisco has sold 2/3rds of everything she held, and her position's value is much much smaller.

When they own part of it, something I've long advocated for.

Ah, brings back memomies of Bat Wu and Sarkeesian faking mean posts against themselves.

They did that?

They WOULD, yeah, but DID they?

Honest question, I'd like to know.

Bat Wu forgot to switch accounts for harassing *himself ( Wu is a man ) on Revolution 60's Greenlight discussion forum, thus posting it from his dev account :

https://web.archive.org/web/20221124190513/https://ggwiki.deepfreeze.it/index.php?title=Brianna_Wu

Sarkeesian posting proof of several hateful message... from new account, taken 12 seconds to 3 minutes after the messages were posted. Not suspicious at all.

Canceled a speech in Utah, based on non-credible threats which made reference to an old attack that would be unknown to people in the USA, but known to a Canadian Feminist like Sarkeesian ( the Montréal Polytechnique shooting ).

The press and Sarkeesian blamed Gamergate without any proof of who made the bogus threat.

https://web.archive.org/web/20220810235430/https://ggwiki.deepfreeze.it/index.php/Anita_Sarkeesian

Bonus insanity : When Sarkeesian harassed Sargon at a convention, using her stage panelist position to call him a ''garbage human'' to his face, violating the convention's rules, she wasen't banned from the premise. Instead the convention apologized to... Sarkeesian.

Here's a screenshot of the threat: https://i.imgur.com/eLpFCsl.jpg References Marc Lepine who shot some feminists in canada in 1989. No one could possibly know who this person was unless they had learned about him in a college feminism course. So the call was definitely coming from inside the house.

Just to activate some almonds : The killer's original name was Gamil Gharbi, his father was an Algerian Muslim. ( Leftists lose their shit when you point this out. )

To be honest if my boss was an ex EA executive that brought in loot boxes for FIFA, I might send some anonymous death threats myself /s

This will be studied alongside Budweiser, Threads and Dashcon in how NOT to run a business in Business classes for years to come.

In some colleges, yes. The others will study it as an example of how to treat your customers.

Or at least they should not have the right sell them as long as they are in the employ of that company.

In theory, you want to have your senior leadership financially invested in the success of the company.

In practice, it creates a perverse incentive.

If I wanted to offer stock as an incentive to executives, I'd probably make it a contractual obligation to hold said stock until 730 days after retirement, resignation, or sacking. It's hard to orchestrate a pump-and-dump scheme two years after you leave.

Wouldn't it be nice if all death threats faced the same scrutiny as ones that could be done by the darling indie devs?
