Former employee here. So disappointed to see this. Those ERGs include groups for Black people immigrants, even working parents. They’re not political—they’re for people to support each other.

This is a rant in search of a problem to solve. It doesn’t make a strong case for a “scourge”. The issues it points out have less to do with title inflation and more to do with bad leadership, planning, and comms.

Ask HN: What’s the origin of the phrase “Don’t feed the trolls?”
It’s one of the best things that’s ever come out of the internet. But where was it first stated and how did it propagate through communities to become common wisdom?From what I can tell, it seems to come from an Oscar Wilde quote. But I’m curious about where and how it was first applied to online discourse?
