And that was as of Monday morning!
Saturday morning, the COO sent out a memo saying that Altman was not fired for any sort of malfeasance. Other news reports have said that he was fired for 'not being forthcoming' with the board', and nothing more specific than that. The board doesn't like how you speak? *POOF*! Gone.

I foresee Microsoft expanding network capacity so that a number of new hires work from home while new office space is acquired. Fortunately there's a lot available in San Francisco right now.
