OpenAI employees have not threatened to quit en masse after former CEO Sam Altman joined Microsoft. Reports of the threat began circulating on social media in early December 2020, with some employees tweeting about their concern with the recent Microsoft acquisition. However, OpenAI has not confirmed any widespread action of this kind and no OpenAI employees have officially left the company en masse as a result of Altman’s departure. Several employees have announced their resignations since then, but without any reported connection to Altman joining Microsoft.
