It's a ton of stuff rolled in to one. First, regular railbed isn't nearly as hard to build because the standards are much lower. When you're building for 70mph max freight you have a totally different need than 186mph+ HSR. F

Notes: 1. The most realistic speed is actually 186mph (300kmh) max making for a ~90min trip between Seattle and Portland - which is still great. 2. There's a completely alternate alignment for a good chunk of the Seattle-Portland dista

Not really an agenda per se, more that I trust the HN community to think about solutions to problems at scale - such as culture at scale. I'd love input on how to manage cultures and performance in a massive global org, purely because

I understand your suspicion, but there is no agenda. That said, your point about a pattern of sorts is something that did give me pause. I did get permission and chose not to post her name for privacy' sake. I hope that allays your con

I do believe in us doing better than before and that we definitely have work to do. I don't want to seem like I'm discounting anyone's experience - it seems some interpret me as doing that. Argh. I'm hoping we as a commu

I'm also not sure that companies sponsor people 100% of the time when they are a fit for a role - do you know? Honestly curious.

I'm sad you see it that way, as that isn't the case. I may be in marketing, but it is my choice to defend what I believe in regardless of my role.

It is indeed a high bar, but not every top-tier company has a role open for someone with her skill set at the same time. I can't speak to specifics on who else she talked to, but she is damn good at what she does.

Fair point - thanks for making it. I wanted to see if I can inject some perspective here overall and Her post covers both to a fair degree. I think that it is hard for us all at times to remember that large orgs can have pretty varied cultu

I'm coming to the defense of the team and company I believe in. I would not presume to ask you to stop if you were in the same situation.

[edit] Tomluck pointed out below that this post can be misinterpreted. I don't want to discount people's experiences - and there is definitely work to be done. But at the same time there is a lot of great things too, so we can hav

Uber team member here. While I can't speak to OP's post about her particular Org, I can say that the one I'm in (marketing) is very much non-toxic and a wonderful place to work. I'm profoundly sad she had such a bad expe
