Right now, my main objective is to do everything in my power to ensure a speedy transition and not lose the force we’ve built,” she said in the letter.
She said about her manager’s post thanks to Sam and their efforts as a part of the organistaion.
“I want to express huge gratitude to her for what she helped us build and achieve, but first of all, I want to thank her for all the support and love she gave me during all the difficult periods. I’m looking forward to what she will do next,” he admitted.
“We will speak on transition further very soon; however, at this point, I would like to sit in stillness and express my gratitude,” he added.
The company’s co-founder was informed that two other executives blocked and one is also leaving the company. Being the outbound detail, he stated the timing of resignations of Murati, chriper Mc Lewis, and research leader Zoph Barret were made, ‘without coordination between parties and civil,’ while the social media forward messages among employees from Altman said.
