> Although my 8 days as the CEO of reddit have been sort of fun

Sounds like he didn't give any notice at all, and they had to scramble for a new CEO? Is resigning (or being fired?) with no notice typical for CEO positions?

View on HN

This is very confusing to me. I'd say that maybe that's typical for other situations, but resigning effective immediately because the offices wouldn't be moved sounds very, very odd.

I would be really disappointed if a CEO left day-of rather than at least allow a transition period where a lead investor didn't have to step in. (Unless it was the board that wanted him gone asap?)

I hope not. Then again I recently learned many resign via email instead of in person. I feel like an old person now.
