This person had a terrible experience at work, and you telling them "don't vent" is condescending. Our industry has a problem with toxic work environments, and we need to talk about it.

It is a risk to do so. I guess she’ll be fine though, she typically is a controversial figure.

This is good advice for those who can't afford to be honest, but there are a lot of people who can afford to and I believe the author is one of them.

Public discussion of such things is how they get fixed.

Indeed. It's very sad that a lot of expenses are borne by the employer (in reality actually paid by the employee) who get to treat that expense in a special manner that the employee cant'.

For example: the employer provided health insurance you and I pay. Yes, you and I pay for it but the employer gets a tax writeoff on it as a OPEX.

This makes health insurance premiums in the US a real deal breaker for entrepreneurship.

Very sad.

I don't know, this post was so vague that, although it was technically in public, it's impossible to figure out exactly what's being said or what happened (other than that Rachel by the Bay quit a job after about a year).

imho, it's just better to more or less part amicably - maybe you don't agree with management, that's fine, move on and do what you want to do at another company; but it's probably best not to flame them out on the public internet.

Wow, not even a complete sentence... Pretty sure this is flaggable on HN.
