I asked for a full list of all employees, every contract, every payment the company had made for the last 12 months, and all the accounts.
Give me the state.
And one of the things I realized is
that it is actually surprising how lack of active management allows companies to add for fee.
What do you mean by that?
If you're trying to avoid looking bad, you do a certain number of certain things, right?
So Opendoor for a very long time was doing everything it could in order to not be noticed.
in order to not stand out, which meant the company was basically had become a company run by professional consultants.
Let me give you two specific examples.
So I got, we agreed that I was going to join the company and then the chair of the board sent me a Google doc that was going to be my announcement that this guy is going to become the CEO of the company.
And I read the doc, and it sounded like it was written by someone trying very hard to avoid saying anything that might offend anyone.
So I took over and made edits.
And then someone went in and undid my edits and changed the doc again, such that it would be not offensive.
So I put in big, bold letters on top of the doc.
Whoever wrote this doc doesn't work at Opendoor anymore.
And I didn't realize that both the consulting firms that the company had hired to do PR for it were in the dock.
What happened as a happy accident is both the consulting firms very loudly resigned the account.
Like we would like to have nothing to do with the company, which did two good things.
One, I didn't have to pay 30 days of notice.
And two, I got to have one less expense on my income statement.
