If last week's shit-show was not the end of @cartainc , this definitely is
* the sales representative who whipped his dick out at a company event, and was promoted a few weeks later.
* you read the texts one manager sent to her Mom about an executive touching her under the table at a work dinner, let alone her claims that she was subsequently “admonished for ‘having her legs out’” and fired after she escalated to HR.
* the Head of Corporate Compliance was fired a week after she learned that the People Team had been instructed to stop logging complaints in the company’s whistleblower platform.
* When the company claims it fired another female executive in part for “taking unauthorized leave,” after she reported to the Chief People Officer that the CEO’s gaslighting and abuse had shaken her so much she needed a day to collect herself…
* CEO who has turned over no fewer than eleven C-suite executives in five years — and settled at least three discrimination cases in the last year alone
- kstrauser 3y agoI have no idea whether any of that is true. If it’s not, Carta should sue the hell out them for libel. If it is, wow…
- mandevil 3y agoIn the original, none of those are cited as his personal observation- all of them are based on (with links to) publicly available news reports on the company, published by reputable news organizations like Business Insider, who presumably have at least a reasonable due-diligence process before they publish, or at least one could make reliance on their having done so. Basically, I know where I'd put my money on whether they happened, and who ends up looking bad.
- voisin 3y agoI highly doubt a guy getting sued by his former company would be stupid enough to post publicly things that he cannot demonstrate to be true (the truth being an absolute defence to libel).
- kstrauser 3y agoThat’s a compelling argument, and if I had to form an opinion today, that’s probably what I’d go with. On the other hand, people said recklessly idiotic stuff all the time. Some guy in the news today is in court to determine now much he owes a woman who successfully sued him, and he still kept saying wild stuff about her. Certain people seem pathologically incapable of STFU. The person who wrote the comments we're discussing could be one of them for all I know.
- sshdz 3y agoBut this guy was silent for over a year. If you look at his Twitter, he didn’t tweet, didn’t like tweets, just went dark for over a year. He didn’t speak to the media while his company tried to ruin him. I think he knows exactly when to speak up and shut up.

- bogomipz 3y agoAt some point in the last decade or so HR at many tech companies have decided to rebrand themselves at "People Operations." And CPO as a title is the logical conclusion of this nonsense. You guessed the acronym correctly. Practically speaking it's the same old mundane HR department. They may use "Hey" in their email salutations or promote "Wellness" programs now but their primary purpose is still to protect the interests of the company not the employee.
- rsynnott 3y agoI mean honestly "people operations", while not a good term, is still a much better term than "human resources". Always wondered who came up with that one, and whether they intended it to be used in real life, or just in dystopian sci-fi.
