Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry weighed in on Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) after Chief Accounting Officer, Dave Morton, left the company after less than a month. Chowdhry called Morton a "misfit"," who was used to lazy work at Seagate and not cut out for the fast-paced start-up culture at Tesla.

commented:

• Dave Morton has been in Seagate for more than 22 years
  • Seagate is considered to be the most laid back and lazy company in Silicon Valley
  • ...Working for Seagate is just like working for the most laid back Fed Government department...
  • ...which 9 to 5 job, with a 2 plus hours of lunch time, and includes a siesta too
• This poor chap - Dave Morton, may be for the first time in 22 years had to do some real work...
  • TSLA is high-paced, high-energy, exponentially demanding, aggressive startup company
  • ...which is completely orthogonal to Seagate, where being lazy is common
• Dave Morton was a complete misfit, who could not handle the startup culture of TSLA
