I totally got what you were saying, communicating the why, the purpose of the company is essential in order to be great.
Unfortunately, your post triggered a HN immune response because the tactics you cited don't work with everyone. Just one of the current limitations of public writing, you can't choose your audience or personalize the context.
- slurgfest 14y agoWhen stories like this involve lower-level employees such as programmers, I think HN's response has invariably been to favor the superior, with whom an entrepreneur who 'doesn't code any more' can identify more readily. But in this story, a manager of managers was getting disciplined and the response is very angry. From which I would infer that a lot of HN is at a similar level to the guy who was disciplined. BTW, from the story, the guy who was disciplined handled it extremely professionally and I would not be surprised to hear he was good to work with from both sides.
