@estherderby @gdinwiddie @daverooneyca @mattbarcomb @squarepegsys Wow. You should read his "Demoting a Loyal Friend" #mustbeaparodyblog

@tastapod @estherderby @gdinwiddie @daverooneyca @mattbarcomb @squarepegsys It’s not a parody. He’s a famous VC now.

@mtnygard somehow, knowing he's a famous VC doesn't change my perception of him one iota from reading his blog...

@tastapod @mtnygard That perception being he's an ass? You have read bhorowitz.com/2012/04/25/our…, right?

@stilkov @mtnygard the perception being his management style and treatment of people is ass. His philanthropy is admirable (but why half?)

@tastapod OK; If company growth makes someone no longer suitable for their position, what's the right thing to do? Discuss unemotionally.

@stilkov I actually think it's bad business to ditch someone with history in the org - the cost of replacement is often hidden

@tastapod I think companies growing at a speed that makes VCs happy require management to act exactly like this. So it's good advice.
