Various employees lodged complaints with the OpenAI board, accusing Sam Altman of being “psychologically abusive.” Reportedly, these complaints played a significant role in the board’s decision to fire Sam Altman from the company.

He was also accused of lying to the OpenAI board in an attempt to have another board member, Helen Toner, ousted from the company. He asked other board members to have her fired.

Despite his reinstatement as CEO of OpenAI, the aftermath has left lingering questions about the work environment at the company.

His exit from OpenAI shocked the tech world. Later on, he joined Microsoft as a lead of an advanced AI research team. Consequently, nearly 740 out of 770 employees at OpenAI threatened to quit if the board of the artificial intelligence company didn’t bring back Sam Altman. 

This is not the first time that OpenAI fired its CEO. Elon Musk, a co-founder of the non-profit, was once OpenAI’s co-chair. However, he left the company over disagreement with the board members.
