I would never post any criticism of an employer in public. It can only harm my own career (just as being positive can only help it).

Given how vengeful Altman can reportedly be, this goes double for OpenAI. This guy even says they scour social media!

Whether subconsciously or not, one purpose of this post is probably to help this guy’s own personal network along; to try and put his weirdly short 14-month stint in the best possible light. I think it all makes him look like a mark, which is desirable for employers, so I guess it is working.

Calvin cofounded Segment that had a $3.2B acquisition. He's not your typical employee.

So this guy is filthy rich and yet decided to grind for 14 months with a newborn at home?

I guess that's why he's filthy rich.

Which is a YC startup. If you know anything about YC it's the network of founders supporting each other no matter what.

That's even more of a reason not to bad mouth other billionaires/billion dollar companies. Billionaires and billion dollar companies work together all the time. It's not a massive pool. There is a reason beef between companies and top level execs and billionaires is all rumors and tea-talk until a lawsuit drops out of no where.

You think every billionaire is gonna be unhinged like Musk calling the president a pedo on twitter?

He is still manipulatable and driven by incentive like anyone else.

Every, and I mean every, technology company scours social media. Amazon has a team that monitors social media posts to make sure employees, their spouses, their friends don’t leak info, for example.
