Posting this with the company name is a little indiscreet.
If it was my company and I was having a bump in the road with funding I would hope for it not to immediately hit the front page of HN for the sake of a few weeks.
Soundcloud actually have a good reputation as an employer so maybe they deserve a small benefit of the doubt? I get the mercenary attitude but it's only potentially a few weeks or months for an incremental pay rise, not as if they are going under....
I suspect this won't be a popular point of view but I like to think company and employee owe each other at least a modicum of loyalty.
- _e 9y agoThe OP is anonymous. Are there any other SoundCloud employees willing to stand up and confirm these accusations?
- babo 9y agoThat would make it even worse.
- nunez 9y agothe only reason i can conjure as to why someone would out their own company like this is to either (a) get some real inside baseball on why deferred salaries are happening (unlikely and also kind of dumb; use the intranet), (b) get some pats on the back from those in similar straits within the company or (c) gives no fucks (which i agree is immoral; the advice won't change based on the company in question)
- redmaple 9y ago> company and employee owe each other at least a modicum of loyalty. The company will not think twice if the have to fire an employee - why should the employee feel guilty about doing the same.
