You’re supposed to bend stupid rules but the one bent here is kind of important. I couldn’t trust an employee that does this, so I wouldn’t want to continue to employ them.
- chaostheory 3mo agoMy point is a good portion of HN is composed of pirates who don’t like rules and have a higher tolerance for risk. You can dislike that all you want for any given reason both valid and petty. However, what you’re seeing are core values from the people who created this community and the same type of people still run it today so you’re going to keep seeing this kind of thinking moving forward

- frollogaston 3mo agoYeah the risk tolerance here is probably well below average. Gotta go to the Nissan Altima forums.
- jfoster 3mo agoIn this case it seems like a bit of coaching could have retained a talented employee who has a preference for taking initiative. I have a hunch that the order of the day within big tech is to let go of anyone they can. As long as they provide a reason, it's one less headcount that needs to be laid off in the next round.
