In a move that shocked and surprised people, HubSpot fired its long-time Chief Marketing Officer, Mike Volpe -- in a very public manner. The company issued a press release that spoke of "ethical violations" in connection with attempts to procure a draft of a book being written about the company. One of the co-founders, Brian Halligan, was sanctioned by the Board of Directors. It was all done in a very public manner, issuing a press release about it and putting it in a fairly negative light.
