I have literally never seen that expressed on HN.
In every case where workers are screwed out of shares, the sympathy among commenters seems to be 100% with the employees. HN is pretty anti-corporate overall, if you haven't noticed. Yes it's pro-startup but even more pro-employee.
- bluefirebrand 1y ago> HN is pretty anti-corporate overall, if you haven't noticed. My observation is that any given thread can go either way, and it sometimes feels like a coin toss which side of HN will be most represented in any given thread Yes, I have seen quite a lot of anti-corporate posts, but I also see quite a few anti-employee posts. This is likely my own negative bias but I think many users here are generally pro-Capital which aligns them with corporate interests even if they are some degree of anti-corporate anyways Probably I just fixate too much on the posts I have a negative reaction to
- crazygringo 1y agoWhat kinds of anti-employee posts have you seen? I'm genuinely curious, because I can't think of any. But I'm wondering if maybe I'm mentally categorizing posts differently from you?
