It is interesting to see that employees of Convoy aren't saying bad things about the CEO. But people on the outside who don't know the CEO are saying bad things. Usually it is the reverse.

  To be clear, it actually isn't a recognized psychological phenomenon as you can see at your own link. It was invented by a police psychiatrist who did a bad job being a hostage negotiator and came up with it to explain why the hostages were mad at him.

>It is interesting to see that employees of Convoy aren't saying bad things about the CEO A whole two people who claim to be ex-convoy employees have chimed in from what I have seen. Hardly representative of what the average ex-employee thinks. Certainly not enough to form a conclusion either way.

Selection bias - Convoy employees who didn't like the CEOs approach didn't stay employees for long.

  OTOH who stayed until the end for nothing is often more bitter

Is it your serious contention that because insufficient numbers of (now ex-) employees of this company haven't posted on Hacker News within three hours of learning about their unemployment, that it's a non-issue?
