A few times it's been brought up to limit their posts, but HN seems insistent on not making any feature updates here to pause their auto-posting for portfolio companies, which drives down trust/quality amongst product people when a portfolio company doesn't have the best track record of hiring/retention.
- bradleybuda 3y agoThat's not how it works - there is no "auto-posting". Companies have to actively add their listing to HN each and every time. It is possible for a company to conduct layoffs and still be hiring; in fact, I'd say it's more common than not. Companies need to shift personnel (role, location, seniority, etc) all the time as they grow and change.
- FireBeyond 3y ago"still be hiring"... except their "new" CEO (founder, ex Chairman of BOD) was adamant. "We've had a firing freeze for months. I don't understand why this is happening." He's being called out now because he was so emphatic and insistent.
