Seems like this behavior is systemic, deliberate and approved by management. [1]
With that in mind, it's highly unlikely this incident is limited to 3 companies, more likely that's the number of companies who have gone public.
I don't understand why he feels the need to misrepresent their policy here, either he's knowingly lying, or much worse, doesn't even know what's happening in his own company.
Couple this with his trainwreck Twitter reply blaming the victim for clout chasing after bringing to light a serious invasion of privacy. [2]
What a mess.

- xyzzy_plugh 3y agoThis is precisely the issue. Why try to spin this at all? There must be something preventing him from simply "fixing the glitch" and everyone moving on: it's obviously money. The impression I get is that Carta is not a viable business on its current (any?) valuation without this angle. Which then means no one in their right mind should be dealing with them.
- refulgentis 3y agoafter working at big G for a while I'll always believe things are much simpler and less thought out than anyone ever thinks. here I think you hit the nail on the head: the giveaway is the tweet, he had the situation handled already. Jumping to that reaction about jobs, just because 20 tweets downthread the dudes like "we talked but I still don't like it", betrayed an understanding of this as "keeping 4,000 people employed."
