He needs to drop all his income immediately before his wife takes it all.

I would imagine the board wanted him to resign. The Chief HR Officer was put on leave but she's just as guilty.

“Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted,” the company said in a statement. “The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”

He quit before he could get fired. Good move for him.
