My buddy Paul S. blogged about an event that went down at I-I last year around this time, where several people quit. What he is calling Black Tuesday. I had already left I-I (only months earlier, actually) but I was glad I had:
It was exactly one year ago today that I and nine others resigned from Integral Institute in a blaze of glory which would come to be known as “Black Tuesday”. I had been working up until then as a graphic designer for the non-profit organization, which was founded by philosopher Ken Wilber in the late 90s to develop an inclusive, post-postmodern approach to the problems of the world. I had been reading his books since 1999, and was hired to work full-time in November 2003.
I-I was definitely a mixed bag, but I still appreciate the time I spent working there, and am very grateful for the relationships I cultivated there that continue to this day.

And the worst part of that picture is how happy I look as I nearly push Paul off the ledge to his certain-death. I was completely oblivious!
