The firing was incredibly destabilizing to the perceived value of the business and the future of its partnerships. Whether or not the employees like Sam or not is irrelevant to them acting in the interests of self preservation for their creations and ambitions, and their jobs.
Firing Sam was a threat to that and it’s increasingly looking like the board chose to be volatile and unpredictable rather than measured in how they dealt with the claims they were making against him. So in the end it’s not terribly surprising that this has been the outcome.
EDIT: for the slow kids at the back, this doesn’t make Sam a good person or the next messiah. Business decisions can’t be explained in terms of heroes and villains regardless of how much Jobs-through-Elon stanning you’ve seen in the public domain.
