Reddit Chief Engineer Quits After Less Than Two Months on the Job
- minimaxir 11y agoThere's been a lot of meta discussion how Yishan Wong, Alexis Ohanian, and Ellen Pao have been talking trash to each other about Reddit and seemingly ignoring every NDA in the book. The comments made in the linked interview trashing a former employer seem to perpetuate this culture.
- prostoalex 11y agoHey, radical transparency.
- BinaryIdiot 11y agoAs far as I can tell, unless I missed it, it's pretty much just Yishan and Alexis with Ellen staying out of pretty much everything. Even more interesting that the firing of Victoria was Alexis's decision and not Ellen's but Ellen totally got the blame for it as far as the Reddit community was concerned. So much public drama.
- bbatchelder 11y agoI can't help but chuckle a bit at the situation of all these public promises being made in the wake of the firing of Victoria, and the person responsible for having to deliver on these promises noping the fuck out when seeing they are being set up for failure. Whatever the reasons behind Victoria's firing...I wonder if the powers that be would do it again if they knew the shit storm it would kick off. CEO, gone. Chief Engineer, gone. Public sentiment, pretty thoroughly buggered.
