Also, there was no mention they were handing the info over to a 3rd party. If you explicitly state something like that, you should follow it and/or change it when the situation changes.

I don't have that issue with git repos.

I'm kinda amused a yc employee went through the effort of downvoting it after pointing out this situation is caused by y'all not following what you actually have in your notices for things.

Welp, I'm taking my email out.

For the sake of example, Amazon.com would be sufficiently equivalent as we do sell products via Amazon. And the fact I complain about Amazon in places gives away that we do do that. :P

This isn't really true. Most businesses don't do thorough background checks and the frequency of people claiming fake degrees w/o getting caught is proof of that.

I've known two people who successfully sued their employer. One had no trouble getting a job after that. It was the second suit that they lost that caused their issues (they looked like they were paranoid and had mental issues based on the company's successful defense). Even tho they are a friend of my parents, my parents and I both agree that they weren't acting all there at the time and that likely came across in interviews.

The other one only had trouble because the area was so small it was literally the only member of that industry within 300 miles. No one wanted to pay for relocation for non-management positions during a recession. Once they relocated with their own money, they had no issues.

I've never heard of an instance of someone being "blacklisted" outside of a failed lawsuit where they were shown to be deceptive and/or mentally unstable.

Many, many places that "starting salary" is more like $50-60k.

It was partially sarcastic, partially not. In 2014, its about as relevant as complaining about links between the Mafia & Unions. They used to be connected in places but it was relatively small scale (e.g. local) and not on the scale people like the parent claimed.

They screwed up the promotion, to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and 3-5s latency for ads? :P

That is the only part of this complaint I find interesting.

For the same products, I have a ~9% return rate. :/

That is different than normal return rates.

I'm going to drop it.

I suppose I could have been more verbose. I tend to use acronyms sometimes and not think through that it could be read differently than I intended.
