After his highly controversial ouster from OpenAI for reasons that remain unclear, news broke that Sam would be joining Microsoft. Many employees at OpenAI were calling for Sam's return as CEO, threatening that they would collectively quit if he was not restored to the job. That didn't happen, though, and a new CEO was named instead.

The exact fallout from all of this, and the reason that Sam was ousted, remain unclear for the time being. OpenAI, which is the company behind ChatGPT, has been one of the hottest tech firms in Silicon Valley over the last year. Now, though, the company's future seems highly uncertain, as it may not be long before they lose all of their employees.
