Andrew Mason stepped down as CEO of Groupon - and posted this letter announcing his firing by the Board. He writes with candor "After four and a half intense and wonderful years as CEO of Groupon,
I've decided that I'd like to spend more time with my family. Just
kidding - I was fired today. If you're wondering why... you haven't been
paying attention. From controversial metrics in our S1 to our material
weakness to two quarters of missing our own expectations and a stock
price that's hovering around one quarter of our listing price, the
events of the last year and a half speak for themselves. As CEO, I am
accountable."
If only the Pope was as honest.
