I've worked with Joist's CTO before and he's got a very high ethical standard and strong commitment to teams he's a part of. I'm sure this decision was not an easy one.
Bottom line, we need freer trade to make international boundaries irrelevant to business.
- justin66 10y agoHis company just hired a couple of people and let them go a week later in a layoff. Clearly, the problem is the international trade system, nothing to do with management's ethics or lack of commitment to its team members. OK...
- grandalf 10y agoI can't speak for the ethics of the other members of the management team, but I think it's unreasonable to assume that the decision was made for any other reason than necessity. It may be that the decision to hire new people a week earlier was out of optimism that moving to the bay area was not going to be necessary.

Clearly he doesn't, otherwise he wouldn't be doing shady stuff like having the company continue to hire people who have to relocate, only to lay them off a week later. "Bottom line, we need freer trade to make international boundaries irrelevant to business." That isn't the problem here.
