CEO of Groupon is sacked. Goes out with a couple of great lines in his final memo to staff.

"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."

"For those who are concerned about me, please don't be – I love Groupon, and I'm terribly proud of what we've created. I'm OK with having failed at this part of the journey. If Groupon was Battletoads [a video game], it would be like I made it all the way to the Terra Tubes without dying on my first ever play through."
