Pinterest CEO rebukes, fires 'obstructionist' employees who created tool to track layoffs

Pinterest CEO Bill Ready lashed out at staffers who created an internal tool to track layoffs at the company, and fired those involved.

"Pinterest fired the engineers after they posted instructions showing how to prompt the company’s staff directory to show who was laid off, the employees said. The employees said Pinterest’s claim that the engineers created custom software was inaccurate, and said the directory tool is accessible to anyone in the company." #LDAP

It's strange how we've gone from a world of native apps for a select few platforms, excluding all others, to a world of web apps that supposedly run on everything (as long as they have a supported browser). Going from the choice of native performance or not available, to sluggish performance everywhere - except oh yes, there's only a select few platforms supported by the necessary browser. I don't think it was a good trade.
