"A few thoughts about PayPal nearly [--] years after I left. I woke up this morning to dozens of messages from former PayPal colleagues. It pushed me to finally speak up. I never spoke publicly about the company after I left. Part of that was loyalty to John Donahoe who gave me an unlikely opportunity handing the reins of PayPal to a startup guy who on paper had no business running a then 15000-person organization. But part of it was something else: I had left. I chose not to stay and fight for the changes I believed in. Speaking from the sidelines felt like armchair commentary. Easy opinions"
