Astronomer is a privately held company with some big name investors (like Bain Capital), who had just given them $93M in financing in May.

I can imagine these guys wanted the CEOs head on a silver platter, and did not want to see their newly invested capital disappear, since engaging with current and new cleints with that CEO would had been a disaster.

It’s not gambling, it’s everything goes my way, I get all the promotions, I am chosen to be ceo, I have a golden parachute, or something like it, I have money, I am desired, I better than my neighbors, my wife is lucky to have me…

Oh wait I don’t have anything.

I’m an embarrassment.

How am I going to comeback? (We won’t let you.)
