What is the best anti-depressant in the world? According to Dan Price, it would be "lifting someone out of poverty".
Once labelled the only 'moral CEO in America' for raising the minimum salary in his firm to $70,000 and spilling out corporate secrets all over social media, Dan Price has landed in trouble and resigned as the CEO of his Seattle-based firm, Gravity Payments, amidst multiple allegations of assault.
Dan's predatory behaviour with women and his toxic boss traits came to light last April after the Palm Springs rape investigation started. The victim, a model, not only exposed Dan but also went searching for others who had had similar experiences with Dan. Dan's ex-wife, also came out to support the victim.
He used social media to leverage his image and erase all his misdeeds. While projecting himself as the saviour of the corporate world, he was able to create a fan following. People who raised their voices against Dan faced retaliation from Dan's followers and fans, as nobody believed what they said. Moreover, even newspapers and channels shied away from bringing out the truth about Dan.
He built an empire for himself on social media and held the viewers in his grasp. Unlike his claims, several employees have now come forward, exposing the toxic work culture at his firm. Dan has a huge following on LinkedIn and Twitter. He was invited on multiple tele talk shows and yet this side of his personality is shocking.
With the allegations against him coming to the fore, Dan has proven to be a wolf in sheep's skin. It is difficult to believe that someone who appears and behaves like a gentleman is actually a total ruffian. As some sources say, it all depends on which version of Dan one gets to meet.
His ex-wife claims he strangled, punched, and waterboarded her. This type of emotional fluctuation is clearly indicative of borderline personality disorder. For some, he is a messiah, for others a devil, and his true nature is a mystery. Once again, we garner proof that all that shines isn't gold!
