Of course I'm not going to bet on a company which the CEO describes as being on a burning platform. You do realise that jumping off a burning platform does not mean you fall into a safe bed, it means that you know what you're doing now doesn't work, so you're taking a wild jump into nothing.

If the CEO thinks it's a gamble, so do I, and I'm not going to bet money on it.

It's not a certain thing with a certain outcome, but it's the best chance they have. It can go wrong, but then, every big decision can.
