Believe what you want. I no longer work at Atlassian, and I had my own frustrations with the company. There are definitely some internal struggles, and specific teams under a lot of pressure, and if you get caught in one of those situations it sucks. The specific team this person was on is under a lot of pressure, and this person is not the only person who quit over it.

But the person who wrote this article did not give an accurate portrayal of the entire situation.

From a 2018 account with 400 karma?

Yes, the five month old account with a whopping 67 karma is questioning another account's legitimacy. You'll be needing a knife for cutting through that irony.

They aren't necessarily implying it's a sockpuppet, but that they currently represent Atlassian PR.

It's obvious what the implication is, yes. It's also not the charitable interpretation that the HN guidelines suggest. Especially when using one's five-month-old account to talk smack to people one has never met, let alone know where they work.

Hi Mike. The fact that you discard my comment based on the measure of "karma" or how "old" my account is just as childish and "talking smack" as what you insinuate I am doing. You believe you are on the side of good moral but you are merely on the side of the self proclaimed strong.
