Zenefits CEO publicly rescinds an offer on Quora
quora.comI disagree with the Zenefits' CEO's choice to publicly rescind the offer, but the OP is not the kind of person I would want to hire, either.
I read that and I roll my eyes about how SF startup-focused it is, but to me it says it's an impressionable kid who reads too much Tech Crunch. What specifically makes you not want to hire him?
Wow... The glassdoor reviews are damning[1]. Their new board better look into what's really going on down there. That's no sustainable way to run a "4 billion dollar company."

> Definitely not Zenefits. (n.b. -- we are revoking the questioner's offer to work at Zenefits).
That is pretty harsh and very bad PR imho ...
Ugh, god forbid a future employee might not be a "true believer" and have other goals and aspirations then making their next company the best thing ever.
I would hope this is the same asker (or someone interested in the HN response to the question):

IMO, risking everything for the big payout and good odds of ending up in a good position at one of the top big techs would have been the reason to quietly select Zenefits or similar. Uber is unlikely to cash out and unlikely to offer much equity to the fair weather friends that are knocking on its door now.
OT, but this other Quora question is one reason why I want problems with CEOs like Yishan Wong to be fixed:

(I want at least this startup and it's CEO to be able to be named for example)
