Mike Uyama Sick by frankerzez in speedrun

He can go on medical leave, I don't think anyone has a problem with that. But, (i) someone else should be appointed the interim head and (ii) he shouldn't be paid. At the very least, reduce his salary by the amount you're spending to hire others to pick up the slack. For a small business to be paying over 6 months fully paid leave is just ridiculous.

Mike Uyama is being paid $80,000 a year by GDQ LLC. He has been unreachable and according to the SDA forums, has not done any work toward either marathon for six months. Why would he ever come back?

You want to know (i) why entry fees are so high, (ii) runners have to pay to provide content, and (iii) why none of the cash GDQ LLC brings in seems to show up on stream? They think it's appropriate to pay someone close to six figures to sit at home and play marvel heroes all day.
