I also wonder about the VCs or boards that hire them! I get the sense that they generally don't care if someone is a complete asshole so long as he gets results. But I am confounded when someone is a complete asshole and they don't get results. How does that person keep getting these jobs? :/

- theorique 13y agoI don't know what this guy's like in real life, but if he acts relatively normal in a job interview, why would his social media habits come up? In all my job interviews, no one has ever asked me whether I tweet out racist and sexist comments (spoiler: I don't).
- fingerprinter 13y agoThis is two days old now, so not sure you'll see it. One should always expect that their internet information where their real name is listed will be seen. Most places are doing some sort of internet search for the person to see what public information, both good and bad, they can glean. This is the way of the world these days.
- theorique 13y agoAgreed. Depends on the policy of the company, of course, but the first thing I would do when I get a resume of a person for interviewing is to google their name. Do they have LinkedIn, github, Facebook, a personal web site? There's good, neutral, and bad. - good: OS contributions, intelligent blog on topic - neutral: random hobbies, completely blank web presence - bad: photos with illegal drugs, hostile blog, drive-by vicious blog comments, etc
