Why does the company have an obligation to satisfy a bunch of gossips on HN? I love a good tale of corporate intrigue and betrayal as much as anyone, but I can wait for the podcast.
- yardie 5y agoBecause they are a public facing non-profit who relies on donations from some of the same people who might be on HN. So if the narrative is "out of control board ousts founder" the next time they have a donation drive the donors thoughts might be "I don't know, your org seems kinda sketch". You ignore social media at your own peril. That is the reality.
- willcipriano 5y agoI give ten percent of my income to charity and spend a lot of time looking into them. While I personally don't engage with race or gender specific organizations as a matter of principal, looking at that Glassdoor this isn't a organization that deserves my money. Loudly correcting this behavior would go a long way to restoring trust for those who would donate. If given the choice between providing mosquito netting in Africa or allowing someone to show up late and bully her staff, I pick the former every time.
