Lot of people in hackernews seem to stick up for bad guys, why is that?
People sign things without looking at them, especially when in desperate situations. Why adopt a stance that further weakens the position of the poor and unconnected, are the rich and connect not powerful enough already? Do we really need to allow "don't tell the truth" contracts to stand?

- gamblor956 7y agoLots of techies have lots of money and assume everyone else is as financially secure as them and just able to walk away from a bunch of money when their employer fucks them over. Lambda has been documented screwing people over. Of course they'd screw over their own employees. It's their modus operandi.

- monkeywork 7y ago>Lot of people in hackernews seem to stick up for bad guys, why is that? Lots of people immediately want to believe the pregnant woman is the good guy even though she broke a contract she legally signed and they know no other details ... but it's easy to hate on the company ... why is that? People aren't sticking up for Lambda, they are sticking up for the basic concept of you are an adult... you signed a legal contract... don't come crying if you break it and there are consequences.
