Just... not cool.
- nostrademons 16y agoMost people can separate between an organization and people who work(ed?) for that organization, even without an explicit disclaimer. Those that can't are the reason why we get overly paranoid corporate communications departments, which is why it's virtually impossible to talk to an actual human being at many big companies.
- earl 16y agoworked in this case, but yes. But if it makes whiners happy, I could add something like this: The opinions expressed herein are my own personal opinions and do not represent my employers'; past, present, or future; views in any way. Etc etc. I could go on in that vein at length or, you know, people could be adults.
- AmberShah 16y agoWe can distinguish them, of course, and I don't care about it from a legal standpoint. It just makes Scribd look stupid that they've hired a moron.
- nostrademons 16y agoMost people can also realize that someone can be really good at one thing (say, writing software) and really bad at another (say, understanding what Microsoft does when they've never worked there). No, what made Scribd look stupid was that they decided to replace one flawed Adobe technology (PDF) with an even more flawed Adobe technology (Flash). At least they rectified that eventually.

- jacquesm 16y agoHe's definitely not representing scribd but it certainly doesn't help. And it isn't cool, agreed.
