Paycom Co-CEO Resigns After Three Months on the Job…

9:53 AM EDT on June 3, 2024

Three months after his much ballyhooed promotion to Co-CEO, Paycom announced Friday that Chris Thomas is no longer co-leading Oklahoma’s flagship tech company.

As now-solo CEO Chad Richison said three months ago, Chris was “instrumental in helping build Paycom into the world-class HR and payroll software company it is today,” so his sudden departure seems like a pretty big deal.

Here’s their internal company announcement:

Yep, Chris left thanks to “personal reasons.”

Sure, that may be an intentionally vague and overused excuse that corporations typically use to dodge questions and avoid answers, but I guess it is better than “abstract,” “impractical,” or “downright silly" reasons to quit.
