If you make a demonstrably false statement, yes. Simply because you shouldn't go around lying about people isn't really relevant tho...

And some potential employees will look at it and go "Well, I am not going to risk working there" as a result either way.

Because the last time I encountered that, it turned out to be an awful, toxic situation that ended up in court? Maybe I just have bad experiences in life but generally people who can't say "Hey, we don't fire people in retali

I didn't say that. I said it wasn't vindictive.

Tbh, I view it the opposite way. If an ex-employee publicly posts/publishes in a visible way that would be obvious to the previous employer...and the previous employer says nothing, that speaks volumes more. Generally corporate silence

I never said I was happy with the quality of yishan's response. I just disagree with: "Whatever the employee may have done to deserve separation, it is profoundly weird and troubling (and also, implicitly threatening to all empl

Replying to public statements about yourself or your company isn't "vindictive". Things like this have a real business impact. I've cancelled interviewing at companies based on conversations with former employees that th

I was paraphrasing: "Officially: no reason. And I get this; I vaguely know how CA employment law works and that you limit your liability by not stating a reason. It's also really hard to work through in your mind. The best theory

No. If you make accusations in a public forum (as that employee did) the company is going to respond. That is a given and perfectly normal. The guy basically said he was "laid off" followed by "because I pissed off management

I suspect you don't use Reddit. Every time Reddit Admins delete a thread, it leads to a shitstorm. EDIT: If people publicly drag you through the mud, you have the right to respond.

Its perfectly legal given that the former employee aired the laundry publicly. Once you do that, people have the right to defend themselves, yadda yadda.

The problem is the attack surface for an app on a device vs. in the wild is much, much larger and much, much less secure. Once its on your phone, it can just screenshot things if nothing else.

If its so complicated you "finish late" if you start at 4pm? Well, I think your tech screening process could use some work then. There is something wrong if you can't finish a tech screen in an hour imo.

This is a joke for two reasons: 1) They don't raise their subscription price, yet keep claiming ridiculous inflation. Their subscription numbers don't change enough to keep up with what they claim either. 2) "The seasonally-a

Is anyone really surprised? IT Security is a cost center and, honestly, the damage from this hack (money wise) to JP Morgan is likely less than the cost of better security. Also, the larger the payoff ... the more effort people will put int

Fair enough. I'd just use a LTE base station over WIFI and encrypt anything running through it if it was me.

They can get into the phone through the baseband. Its not safe to assume its secure vs. targeted surveillance. A good discussion is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7062489

All computer evidence is basically Law Enforcement's word that it is real. It is really scary because of how simple planting things are in the context of a tarball or a log file.
