Employees do comment. That is not the problem. What I am saying is why do we not see threads where employees actually discuss a product/procedure, and opine on how they can better that product/procedure. These are personal opinions and given this is not a blog and our identities are not out in the open (at least not immediately accessible), everybody can, while staying under the veil of HN, state their honest opinions. Much like anonymous surveys, but more detailed. Nobody has to disclose sensitive information, but opinions of employees do make a difference. I would like to see that on HN.

People who want to express their personal views, or even to influence corporate policies, are more effective if they aren't burdened by seeming to be corporate spokespeople. At one extreme, it's sock-puppetry, meaning someone deliberately trying to hide their affiliation while representing a corporate viewpoint. The other extreme is an overreliance on a corporate connection to add weight to a view that would be more fairly evaluated on its direct merits. The middle ground would be people announcing their affiliation only if the announcement contributes to balance and fairness, but who emphasize that their views are their own. That's the present system.
