Razer's CEO admitted to throwing prototypes on the floor, yelling at employees and threatening to punch an employee in the face ("in jest," apparently). So you should hear what 14 former employees had to say about working for him: https://t.co/kqopCi9ib9

I think my favorite former employee quote here starts with: "Razer looks like this cool place to work..."

Let me finish that for you: "...but the fans don't work." Hey-yooo. https://t.co/I3MhxRNGov
Somehow I'm not surprised to see a Singaporean billionaire behaving like his employees(read: nameless resources) are far behind in delivering what's rightfully owed to him: more billions.

Singapore, just like the US apotheosizes financial success, even at the expense of a lot. https://t.co/Dr3vGUjiCt
I thought nobody cared about FastCompany and its awards ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://t.co/NxksLNNqNz

"This myth of Min Liang-Tan as a revolutionary auteur of gaming PC peripherals helps him draw power over his employees, many of whom have described him as dictatorial or abusive as a boss."

In the intervening weeks, I'll be taking time off to work on a tabletop role-playing game, bake pies, play bass, travel, I don't know. Human stuff. Say hi at cecianastatips@gmail.com and read my last @Kotaku article here: https://t.co/kqopCi9ib9

Following The Verge's Away exposé, we have Kotaku going after Razer. Horrendous corporate HR management unfortunately exists all around, but these things usually come in threes...https://t.co/tp69VKhYsg

What's that? *Another* CEO of a hot tech company turns out to be a toxic sociopathic asshole?

I'm shocked. SHOCKED, I tell you.https://t.co/2hA67E5ydl
Exposé on Razer CEO Tan Min-Liang. As a wag once said, a lot of CEOs aspire to be like Steve Jobs but they only get the asshole part right.

Fun fact: I took a module in NUS in 2001 and Tan was in the same class. Too bad didn't get to know him then. LOL.https://t.co/VNUAwWkU99

I'm not asking, and by the looks of it not many other people are either. On another note, it's hard to believe how little likes, replies and retweets somebody with 250K followers has. Don't worry, my 5 paid followers don't reply to me either.https://t.co/xE6SHzjM19
