What's telling about this whole story is how Airbnb tried to "manage" her.
I thought the whole point of being a startup is you don't need to fall in line with the dehumanizing bullshit that you find in big corporations.
That's why I'm in a startup at least and it works for me on that level.
But there's such a stench of insincerity about the Airbnb approach that I will never use their site now.

- jcc80 15y agoedit: I just read her blog & she said she had no contact w/ the CEO, Brian Chesky so far. It was another co-founder who asked her to take down the blog it seems.
- Vivtek 15y agoWhat's telling is not that AirBNB tried to manage her, but that a company allegedly valued at billions managed her so very incompetently. I am devastated to find that they are doing such a bad job at what arguably is the single most important thing for them right at the moment.
