So from clickholing through that article I gather Steve Gaynor was a terrible boss.

Many who left told the site that Gaynor's behaviour towards employees -- especially women -- was a key factor in their decision to leave. The co-founder has been described as a "controlling" and "demeaning presence," breaking down women at the studio with various microaggressions.

Examples include women in leadership positions claiming they had to get even the smallest details approved by Gaynor, who they said constantly micromanaged their work.

He is also said to have disparaged and discredited the contributions by women on the team, laughing at other people's opinions and embarrassing staff in front of other people. He would assert control over Open Road, declaring it to be his game, not the team's.

It is specified in the report that former employees say they did not witness or experience explicit sexism or sexual harassment, nor have any claims of physical misconduct been made against Gaynor.

Reminder: You can be a bad boss, but not towards women. Oh well, I wasn't going to play the game either way.
