“Today, however, when we contacted Color with an alert that this story would be published, we were finally able to reach Bill Nguyen by phone to discuss what our sources told us. Nguyen, who called while on his way to board a plane to Maui, confirmed that he has been absent from day-to-day operations at Color for months — but initially, he stressed that it was a non-issue. “I do this historically. I take off for a little while and I vacation. It’s nothing new or exciting,” he said. “The roles of founders and CEOs is to get everyone engaged and give opportunities to people. And when things haven’t worked out as expected, the best way for me to recharge is to go on sabbatical.”
What. The. Fuck. Feel bad for the guys who joined this team and are still around.
