Peter, the founder of the company I've worked for for 8+ years is leaving today. I'm not sure if it's voluntary or not. Peter is a cool dude. He's a poet who ended up running a corporation, then giving up control to a CEO-bot that was supposed to be better at "growing the company." Our sweet little startup that had the philosophy "as few rules as possible" became an uptight place with a dress code. Years ago Peter encouraged a flurry of haiku contests where people anonymously taped haikus all over the hallways. This is despite the fact that the haikus were not always expressing joyful sentiments about the workplace. I'm sure taping 30 poems to the wall complaining about network problems, rude customers, and general angst would be a reason for disciplinary action now. Nevertheless I left this hanging outside Peter's office.

Haiku for Peter
Thank you for having a soul
