Sure, but without a source this is just baseless cynicism.
HN is supposed to be a place for intelligent discussion: giving unsourced cynicism equal weight as evidence is creating an echo chamber for pseudo-intellectuals to parrot their beliefs.
- threatofrain 12y agoOr is this baseless trust of a CEO in an interview with the New York Times? Surely what you propose is not a trust model for a robust organism. Also, because somebody doubted the honesty of a CEO, you decide to talk about how they are a pseudo-intellectual in an echo chamber who parrots their baseless cynicism?
- a_c_s 12y agoThe burden of proof is on the cynic, not the person who is citing sources.
- brianfitz 12y agoAssume I hire you as a manager in my organization and give you a hiring budget of $200k. You could decide that you want to hire 5 new college grads at $40k per year or 2 senior candidates at $100k each. Now assume that I tell you the minimum salary for any of your hires is $100k. My question to you: What would be your incentive to hire two college grads you'll need to invest in training versus candidates with years of experience and skills?
