Wai – he says “the board is still conducting a search for the next great leader of this great company.” He is clearly referring to himself as a great leader in that sentence, which is what I say above. No way that can be disputed. However, I do think it was a Freudian slip. Which says a lot.

Go read the post. Sifry did not call himself “great leader”. It is unfair for TechCrunch to infer this from what he actually said!

Well…Posts must oftentimes be cold and distant. Oftentimes when removed from a position of authority, or removing oneself from a position of authority, one must do what is “best for the company” in a sense, even if it is a detriment personally.

technorati deserves some credit for announcing that people have “left” when they were obviously fired. look back on the people who have “left.” i bet Technorati canned their asses.

he was hated by everyone in the office except for a couple of young idealistic hero-worshiping engineers (one of whom was just fired).

for the sake of the people left, I hope that this can be turned around (but I highly doubt it). sifry was left too long to do too much damage – to morale, reputation, cash flow, etc.

Don’t know if I agree with your take on Dave Sifry being cold. The context of the paragraph where he discusses the layoffs is very different to what you depicted. He writes the words “Undertaking this action was gut wrenching…”. Doesn’t seem cold to me.
