It sounds like it's really awful to work at Fab from his description. His responses show an incredible lack of understanding as to what working for him is really like.
> Claim. A message on Feb. 4 carried the subject header “Do you like getting paid?” Goldberg told employees they were required to have a photo uploaded to the “team” page on Fab.com “in order to be eligible for the next company pay period. No exceptions.”
Fact. We pride ourselves on humor and transparency at Fab. As part of our major relaunch relaunch of our employee pages on Feb 5 we required every employee to be listed publicly. The bit about holding out pay was a joke to get everyone’s attention. It worked.
Reality - This is not a joke, and it is not even remotely funny. He says "It worked." If it was a joke, there wouldn't be any "it worked."
>Claim. An e-mail on Oct. 11 from Shellhammer, who serves as chief design officer, forbids people from modeling Fab’s products. Employees had been inserting themselves into shots of the company’s wares posted on its website. “If you have time to model, you have time to get fired,” Shellhammer wrote.
Fact. It was a joke. We have about a thousand jokes just like it. “If you have time to xyz, you have time to get fired.” It’s a joke about staying focused and not getting distracted.
Reality - This is also not a joke. A boss can't joke about firing his employees. It just isn't possible. Anyone who doesn't realize this isn't somebody most people will have any desire to work for.
Edit: Apparently he also threatened to put a bullet in a former employee's head for potentially leaking something. Clearly this guy has huge issues, and I suspect that the work environment at Fab is incredibly toxic. He isn't doing himself any favors with this post - http://gawker.com/266979/a-bullet-in-your-head http://gawker.com/266979/a-bullet-in-your-head
