Maybe, but the board fired him without notifying OpenAI’s employees on a Friday before Thanksgiving week. Thats has to be more than a disagreement for such a forceful move.

Yep.

I get this logic, but it seems contradictory with "it was last minute." If they timed it for the Friday before Thanksgiving, then they must have been sitting on it, right? Whereas if it's sudden, it must be unplanned. So which was it, sudden or planned?

The fact they timed the announcement actually implies some planning, which means the reason couldn't be so damaging that they had to fire him immediately after discovering it. (Of course, it's possible that only by coincidence, an unplanned revelation happened at a convenient time to fire him.)
