Maybe they were just the only ones who had the guts to leave, and a paycheck wouldn't convince them otherwise. Not that Bruce needed the money, of course. But he could have had a nice cushy job at Getty for a long time if he wanted it, and he opted to walk away.
Those who stayed apparently are comfortable with helping H&F get what they want, regardless of what it ends up costing everyone.
Bruce and Rob are a different kind of person with a different kind of character. They have ideals that are stronger than lust for golden riches. For me the most disheartening thing was reading the posts by Admins when the whole RC discussion was happening and how they were forced to sell the plan as if it was their own reasoning of great fairness.
They wanted to keep their jobs but they lost a whole lot of good karma in that endeavor. How things change in one short year and change... Wonder what will happen by next year, maybe it will be a completely different picture.
