She's not very likable. You don't see down voting like this for Alexis, Yishan or, elsewhere, PG and SamA. She still speaks more in MBA-ease like "providing tools" and "listening to users" and "communicated poorly", etc.
And the person fired was by most accounts a well-liked, very visible, performing employee. Dismissing someone like that with very little care was horrific management.
Edit: I don't know why I included Alexis since he also comes off pretty smug and user-hostile (e.g. "popcorn time").
- iaw 11y agoI've met a lot of people I'd consider 'success' focused individuals in the Ivies, I suspect if I met her I'd consider her in the same group. There is a focus on a narrow definition of success that is more important than anything else. How that success is accomplished doesn't matter, just that it is. The behavior is surprisingly irrespective of traditional intellect or competence, it's pure focus and drive. It also is not about doing anything well per se, it's just about gaining stature.
- snowwrestler 11y agoWhen I looked at his account during the height of the anger, Alexis's every comment was below -1,000. He got downvoted hard.
- pbreit 11y agoYou're right. I made an edit.
- mybloop 11y ago> Alexis Male. > Yishan Male. > PG Male. > SamA Male. I don't know about you, but I'm starting to see a pattern here.
- scrapcode 11y agoThis level of backlash being related to sexual orientation is a ridiculous claim. You should be ashamed. It's unfounded comments like yours that builds opposing communities against real issues.
- jacobtracey 11y agoThe outcry was over a female employee being fired. The pattern you're seeing is more likely than not sheer coincidence.
