Employers are necessarily oppressive and may fire employees over this sort of notification if the listed project or the AngelList profile in general is against business interests.

If it wasn't clear already, this sort of move shows exactly who AngelList is serving. After all, as you said, how will the employer, in their contractual fantasies, ever be able to confirm that a potential interviewee is telling the truth?

I don't work for AngelList however I think this is overblown.

If you add yourself to an open site, your employer will see it. It is indexed on Google. It shows up when you search the site for the organization.

Are you saying as an owner of an organization, you are happy for anyone to claim to be an employee and to have done any project at your company without you knowing?

Should I be able to claim I did the Dropbox AWS migration without the folks at Dropbox getting notified I am making the claim?

It would be bizarre for an employer to fire an employee for stating (s)he works at the company and did a project.

But what do I know.

The creepy part to me is that the email pretended to be from the employee, not AL. I am actually curious to know exactly what that email looked like.
