I'm sure they're afraid that people will bash certain companies in them. But I'd like that too. They should let the company moderate the discussion in those posts. I don't care if they're highly censored, I think there would be a lot of value to being able to ask the company questions about the roles.
- munchor 9y agoI actually think companies would get positive and negative feedback on their job postings which would mean that future postings would be better. The company will always win. No need to be afraid of bashing IMHO.
- grovegames 9y agoAnd it would help the applicants, if the bashing is justified.
- eps 9y agoI seriously doubt that they are afraid of negativity. It's just that public comments on these posts would serve no tangible purpose for the companies.

The illusion that a company is good is way more harmful than just disallowing comments in the first place.
- icpmacdo 9y agoMaybe just a toggle to have them on or off then?
- tomc1985 9y agoIt's struck me as somewhat suspicious that hiring posts disallow comments so conspicuously.

- look_lookatme 9y agoIt only takes one Genius thread to ruin everything.
- maxerickson 9y agoLetting the companies moderate the threads would be just an incredible drama factory. Not necessarily from anything the companies were doing...
