Iterable CEO Justin Zhu ousted for taking LSD at work

It's ok to use caffeine at work. It's ok to have a beer at lunch and go back to work. People take various prescribed drugs while at work, including opiates. I suspect micro dosing LSD is a scapegoat for some other issue that got him fired.

This feels like a flimsy excuse to fire the CEO for an incident in 2019. What was he really fired for?

I wonder how the board found found out, given that the event occurred in 2019 and they are firing him in 2021.<p>I also wonder how much equity the board and investors clawed back by the firing.

He must have been really out of it. It&#x27;s pretty hard to get caught doing it. No evidence. And usually people will forgive you.<p>Personally I don&#x27;t get it, though. No microdose has worked for me.

I find it hilarious that inbetween Alex Jones&#x27; schizophrenic rants he seemed to have touched on a nugget of wisdom by saying that the government is giving LSD to people in order to get in touch with higher entities (for technological ideas and so on). I mean that&#x27;s most likely not what&#x27;s happening but LSD does seem to make me much more creative at problem solving, and it ties to the idea that most of your useful ideas come when you drop your ego and thinking and just sleep on the problem.

&gt; Zhu said he was experimenting by taking a limited amount of the drug, or microdosing, in an effort to boost his focus.<p>&#x2F;facepalm<p>Microdosing is not a thing. It has never been a thing. There is no science backing it. Any benefits are at best due to the placebo effect. Stop with this tech bro culture nonsense already.
