As an actual Red Hat employee (also someone who has seen Paul C both at a distance and close up for over a decade), it's a healthy and happy workplace. Also Paul has been effectively doing day to day running of Red Hat as long as I've been here, so I don't expect that much to change.
Big over reaction and this is making him sound far worse than he is. Its more passion than rage with Paul as Red Hat is everything to him an he believes in the company 100%. There is also a lot more to Red Hat for its leadership. Jim is still up a level and then you have Chris Wright the CTO, a genuinely soft spoken sweet man.
Indeed, that is my thought as well. If I worked there I'd want to stay as far away from this guy as possible. Red Hat seems like a pretty big company tho, so probably the average person never interacts with the CEO. But still, the tone gets set at the top, and will filter down.
