- TheJoeMan 8mo ago"After this article was published, several Pinterest employees contacted CNBC and disputed the company’s characterization of the incident. Pinterest fired the engineers after they posted instructions showing how to prompt the company’s staff directory to show who was laid off, the employees said. The employees said Pinterest’s claim that the engineers created custom software was inaccurate, and said the directory tool is accessible to anyone in the company." So just like using inspect element is hacking, querying open staff directories is creating obstructionist tools, got it.
