> And the then CEO Yishan Wong publicly fighting with a former employee
This was awesome. The employee started the trash talk, fully expecting Reddit not to defend itself (as expected of bullshit corporate america). It was perfect /r/justiceporn when Wong came out swinging in response. Glorious to see.
- vonklaus 11y agowhether it was political or performance based, he did raise a rather rational point. If your company is unprofitable/showing weak earnings, it might not make sense to give away 10% of all of the money you take in over the fiscal year.
- zzleeper 11y agoAgreed. I recall people went from not knowing who was the CEO to cheering for him.
- knorby 11y agoWould you work for Reddit right now, or even then? I got the impression then, and I definitely get it now, that the management has little respect for their employees. In the case of Yishan's spat, it was definitely relatable, but it definitely had the smell of the company that view employees as assets to be managed and controlled rather than people with emotions and opinions.
- yuhong 11y agoYishan has other problems, but yes I really dislike anti-discrimination laws for example. A better idea is to impose anti-discrimination restrictions on specific companies.
- beedogs 11y agoTo me it was low-class and unprofessional to see a CEO do that.
