I think, like most situations, that the public has very little information and context. For all you know, the situation is exceedingly complex for the board and Parker.

Sacks is smart. Parker is too and he wouldn't take it lying down but clearly wants to do the right thing: preserve the integrity of the company and its employees over himself. You can see that in his actions as he resigned from the board and is being really quiet -- that's tough as a founder.

I wouldn't overly judge the memo. The audience isn't you or me, it's the employees of Zenefits. It's their message to interpret and internalize. And they already know who their founder is and what he contributed to Zenefits.
