I really don't get the point. Sure, these tweets are ostensibly public to start with. We all know that. So why this passive-aggressive approach to things, with a quote at the bottom saying, "So don't blame me, instead get responsible"?
Perhaps whoever posted these tweets doesn't care? Maybe they've already done the math on the chance of discovery? Maybe they are posting anonymously?
This isn't even the first time we've seen a compilation like this, so it's not like it's novel or anything. Seriously, what's the point?
- bobsy 14y agoTo be honest the name of the site could be flipped to hire me. "Save people from jobs they hate."
- toddrew 14y agoWho would want to hire someone who makes negative public statements about their job?
- johnward 14y agoWhat kind of asshole would hold that against someone?
- toddrew 14y agoReally? I would. If I was considering hiring someone, and checked out their social streams and saw a lot of negativity directed towards their boss and job, I would only assume that's what I would be getting as well. They would never get the job. Same goes for high amounts of general non-work-related negativity in their streams as well.
- shurcooL 14y agoI talked with a girl recently and she was surprised to find out that her tweets are public (and tweets from people she follows). I was surprised to find out she didn't know that. This makes me think maybe there are many more people than we expect who don't know this.
- rohansingh 14y agoTrue. I considered this in my original comment. I think the reality is that anyone who is on HN or who is likely to stumble across that site almost certainly knows this though.
