Last Flexport jobs posting on HN was 19 days ago.

I feel like Flexport should lose their right to post wanted ads here permanently over this.

It’d be a largely symbolic punishment, let’s be real, but unethical behavior like this shouldn’t be allowed to pass.

Well, YC did boot out Medobed and HomeJoy & FlyMaids more or less self-destructed after double-dealing customer data.

If YC doesn't denounce egregious unprofessional behavior, then it teaches other batches that it's allowed. Also: Qui tacet consentire videtur. (Silence gives consent.)

Oh, good luck with that. I'd make the bet you'll see a post from them by the end of the year.

Didn't they remove commenting on those posts a year or so ago? I used to remember being able to comment on them, but I don't think you can anymore...

I assume the previous CEO had no handle on what was going on with their hiring (as evidenced by the rescinded jobs and 200 jobs on their website despite a hiring freeze), so a founder stepped in, assumed that role, and is trying to clean up that mess.

I’d like to assume that there was no mess to begin with.
