Fired OpenAI employee says termination reasons don't add up, demands answers
j_asminewang · x · 2026-10-09
Former OpenAI employee Jasmine Wang publicly disputes her termination: the stated reasons "don't add up," vague internal rumors are being used to discredit those fired, and she has received nothing in writing beyond verbal allegations.
On the sensitive-email incident: OpenAI delegated the inbox access to her for recruiting; IT never actioned her removal request, and the inbox was combined indistinguishably in her mail app. She says she told the executive within minutes of opening a sensitive email by mistake — "none of this was hidden."
