Feels like an old school Friday night news drop. Man, Zenefits has had it rough in the press recently.<p>I think Sacks has done an extraordinarily good job as CEO. Hard to put oneself in the CEOs shoes here, but this guy had to make multiple <i>huge</i> decisions and changes to Zenefits over the past year. Sacks&#x27; consistency of right calls and handling things deftly under a ton of pressure, I can&#x27;t remember the last time a CEO had to run such a gauntlet, maybe <i>Iceman</i> back in 1986. The guy deserves more credit than he has gotten. Though it&#x27;s not surprising the press missed this part of a story as they tend to do when they smell unicorn blood in the water.<p>I also don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s too surprising he is stepping down. How long can someone work on cleaning up someone else&#x27;s mess? While under-compensated for it. And while putting better more interesting potential opportunities on hold.

Apparently he&#x27;s joining Thiel and the Trump team <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;12&#x2F;02&#x2F;technology&#x2F;zenefits-chief-quitting-and-is-said-to-consider-trump-transition-team.html?_r=0" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;12&#x2F;02&#x2F;technology&#x2F;zenefits-chief-...</a>

Huge fan of David Sacks. Rough blow about Zenefits the past few months. It feels like one piece of bad news after another.<p>Really, the big news here is Gusto. Gusto has hands-down slipped right passed Zenefits and will consume their market.

Surprising. From This week in startup&#x27;s interview that came out 3 days back, it appeared David Sacks had no such plans: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;soundcloud.com&#x2F;twistartups&#x2F;twist-e692" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;soundcloud.com&#x2F;twistartups&#x2F;twist-e692</a>

I think what&#x27;s interesting is that Sacks was put into this position at the request of the board and shareholders. For the most part, this will be a interesting transition for Zenefits as they deal with the wave after wave of bad news...

I don&#x27;t know why anyone would want to be the CEO of such a troubled company without either a huge golden parachute or a huge payoff in the event of an acquisition.

Seems appropriate considering he was supposed to have Conrad&#x27;s back but seemed to happily throw him under the bus when the Zenefits issues came to light.<p>This will be a good way to close out that chapter and for everyone to move on.<p>FWIW,asides the throwing of Conrad under the bus, Sacks seemed to have done a pretty good job (from the outside) of steadying the Zenefits ship after last year&#x27;s collusion.<p>I expect Buzfeed to have the gossip back story by early next week.

tl;dr since some of us won&#x27;t have wsj access:<p><i>“David Sacks is still the CEO of Zenefits and remains very committed to the company,” she said in a statement. “This is not a role that David sought, but he accepted it without any compensation at the request of the board to get the company past a crisis. Now that the crisis is over, David is leading a process to determine what senior talent the company needs to get to the next level.”</i>

The lead has changed to: &quot;David Sacks confirmed he is stepping down as chief executive of Zenefits, less than a year after taking over the troubled health-benefits broker.&quot;<p>The &quot;still the CEO of Zenefits&quot; quote from his last-to-know PR person is now gone.
