Why are we blaming the employees when these kind of things come from high pressure management.

Everyone is aware the Elon works his employees to death at Tesla, SpaceX, and apparently SolarCity.

I feel like these tech companies are great for consumers and shareholders, but employees are worked like dogs to keep the profit flowing.

Hypocrisy, pure and simple.

Go read how HackerNews reacted to the Wells Fargo scandal.


That's a shite excuse. "Just following orders" etc.


If your neighbor was one of the salespeople, then sure go ahead and slag her for it. If you're a prosecutor with jurisdiction and you think there's a case, jump on it. Since most of us don't personally know any of the people involved, there's not much point in selecting these nobodies for our two minutes of hate. The character we're going to have to deal with again is the dude at the top, so naturally he's the one whose behavior we'd like to affect.

Would you please stop posting inflammatory comments to Hacker News? The idea here is: if you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully; if you don't, please don't comment until you do.

There's no reason both can't be at fault.
