Who would they file such a complaint against? Do they write it on an index card and drop it in a box in front of the US Department of Labor or something? I'm confused by the premises of this bet. They're a teeny tiny company with < 100 employees and people talk about them like they're Standard Oil circa 1890, twirling their mustaches and engaging in Dynasty-level interpersonal corporate drama. It's literally just a small group of (probably mostly twentysomething) people sitting in a small clump of office space in SF, regardless of how significant the thing that they maintain is to so many people. I don't know how they manage to even keep the lights on given how much traffic they get, much less the crap they have to deal with on a regular basis from many of their users.
I don't doubt that there's a laundry list of corporate dysfunction at Reddit HQ, but even the most seemingly universal complaints I see people post about seem more like collaborative storytelling exercises where a bunch of people are getting each other worked up into a frothy rage over stuff that just really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. The pitchforks-and-torches mob mentality I've occasionally seen on Reddit is way more damaging to those communities than anything I've ever heard of regarding the company leadership.
- ben_jones 10y agoThe last legitimate valuation for Reddit was $500M in 2014. They are not a teeny tiny company. And as far as Reddit's competency being heavily editorialized, I'd agree, but if you google a prospective employer and get ten pages of shit it's enough to get the wheels turning against joining the company, which is the question at hand.
