it is genuinely hard to believe how it could have gone worse
Don’t worry, it’ll only get worse from here. And if you think there’s no way it’s getting worse then he would somehow find a way to make it worse that no one could ever figure out.

You can read the whole call transcript here: https://gist.github.com/christianselig/fda7e8bc5a25aec9824f915e6a5c7014
Basically, Christian initially says:
I could make it really easy on you, if you think Apollo is costing you $20 million per year, cut me a check for $10 million and we can both skip off into the sunset. Six months of use. We’re good. That’s mostly a joke.
And then you can read the misunderstanding that follows and the apologies because of the misunderstanding.
Honestly I think it could have gone much worse. CEO of tech company being a douche has got be one of the top 3 requirements for the job.
I interviewed at Reddit a few years ago and found the arrogance and smugness to be off putting. I went from wanting to work for Reddit to thinking I dodged a bullet.

In my experience that sort of thinking comes from the top.
I’m surprised spez didn’t just decide to drop the n-word at some point
