After more than two years working as the CEO of one of the most popular (and occasionally one of the most controversial) websites in the world, Yishan Wong was exhausted.
"I'm basically completely worn out, and it was having significantly detrimental effects on my personal life," Wong confessed on Q&A site Quora, a few hours after news broke that he had resigned as CEO of Reddit on Thursday.

"As a first-time CEO, all I knew was that such jobs are supposed to be stressful, so I never really had a good baseline... until multiple outside people and coaches I was working with remarked to me that I looked incredibly worn down for months on end and it wasn't supposed to be this hard," he added.
The official line from Reddit was that Wong had resigned a little more than a week ago after disagreeing with the board about new office space. The reason seemed so unbelievable that Reddit insiders quickly had to reiterate that yes, it really, truly was about office space.
"I realize that this sounds non-credible (and it's certainly one of the craziest professional things I've ever been a part of), but it's actually what happened," Sam Altman, the lead investor in Reddit's latest funding round, wrote in a post on Hacker News.
Wong confirmed that the office plans were an issue — there was a debate about whether to relocate to San Francisco or Daly City, about 10 miles away — but his post suggests that this was just the straw that broke the weary camel's back.
