In the startup culture of sidestepping rules this is the definition of hustle. You do whatever it takes to get info on your ex, politicians and especially Beyon

By the way I am pretty sure every startup is this way. At the very least this romantic idea of startups is getting shattered and Uber is taking the fall for it.

- _jal 10y agoI've worked for startups basically my entire professional career, and none of the startups I've worked for were like that. I've interviewed at/talked about consulting for some that had a bit of a frat-house vibe, and turned those down. - The single sexual harassment claim I can recall was a huge deal that caused soul-searching about how that person was hired. (Don't know that that was the best reaction, but it was indicative of the concern.) - When things that pushed ethical lines were mooted, that was talked about a lot, and, at least to my sense of morals, we rarely crossed them. Bottom line - being a startup doesn't mean you're an Uber. Being an Uber means you're an Uber.
- cosinetau 10y agoI don't know why we keep calling these young companies start ups. At some point, we need to divorce that label form these organizations when they reach a certain size. I believe when we can make a reasonable guess about a org's software being on a randomly selected person's personal hardware, they're probably no longer a start up. Just because someone or a team of people carry that "hustle" ethos, doesn't make them a start up, it makes them hustlers.
