Grace, Your highlighting of problems within the performance comp have merit, and I’m not trying to discredit your work on that. Much was lacking, and the DAO needs to correct that for sure.
Where I have a problem is seeing how you pretend you didn’t know of Pati being the upstream source of this whole situation gone awry, and I really cannot comprehend why you chose to ignore this as context to why Pati might act and behave a certain way in a “he said, she said” controversy with Youssef?
Blaming me for not going into detail in an early discussion with you when you never asked about this topic also seems pretty sad, TBH.
Did I not tell you directly on an early call that “Pati wanted bonuses for Oversight, Youssef got mad at her over it, and that’s how this whole situation got started” – why don’t you play that clip for the community?
TBH, I should be able to trust senior colleagues to take a conceptual comment and interpret it and act on it, yeah?
If that is how the situation got started with Pati and Youssef being in a big fight in Feb, and it was relevant context to how Pati flips it back on Youssef in September, why didn’t you consider it in your investigation? I mean, did you just forget to interview me to gather the detail after I said that to you?
Did you think it wasn’t relevant context in the context of a “he said, she said” situation to have the testimony of a first person witness who witnessed how all of this got started down the path of going south?
It seems odd for a person as thorough and detailed as yourself to just omit a whole section of the context, let alone even one key detail – I don’t know why you would do that?
Before this is all over, I think the AADAO team and community should weigh in on your role in causing this whole situation to look a certain way, and whether or not that is becoming of Oversight to paint it one way when there is a much richer context and set of facts at hand.
Anyways, that’s my final post for tonight and I hope on this topic too.
I don’t wish ill of you, Pati, or Youssef, and just think a lot of mistakes were made leading up to how we got here by multiple people, TBH, and I’ve tried to be fair and equally critical of all three parties to the situation.
