I did not know about this Bloomberg article, but now I do. They could have just let it go, but now it gets to the HN frontpage. What a dumb move
I know folks who work at Fab in non-tech roles and it is indeed a demanding environment with long hours and high turnover. But this is fairly typical of NYC ecommerce startups though...
- betashop 13y agoWhat if it's not a dumb move? Meaning, what if it's a good thing to be honest with people that working at a startup is hard, that it's emotional, that it's human, that people make mistakes? I think opening up a bit about our culture -- which is hard driving, passionate, etc. isn't a dance in the park and can break some dishes along the way? That's pretty true of all startups.
- dclowd9901 13y agoAre you him? God, you're a fucking moron. Shut the hell up. Your mouth is doing more harm than good. Oh, and quit being an asshole. "What if it's not a dumb move?" It is, objectively, a dumb move. Clearly. Take a hint. We "Y-Hackers" don't play favorites, and as is clearly evident by the "eating" you're seeing, we actually know how to be hard working, supportive, and breed a culture that isn't rife with subversive fear and subtle intimidation. You're wrong. Admit it. Fix it.
