What a butthole-face wanker.
How is this not retaliation?
oh pinterest is toast
Pinterest has been a dead app for a while. Nowadays it 40% ads, 50% AI, and 10% 5 min crafts.
All CEOs are evil scum exhibit one milllion
I’d be so fired at my company too (bank)
They still exist? I figured they went under years ago.
In the early 2000s we had a big round of layoffs. One enterprising person captured the LDAP tree and then polled it every 5 minutes and looked for new deactivated accounts. He then dumped these into a simple HTML file that we all reloaded every so often. Great and simple tool. This was pre Slack!
i didn’t know pinterest still a thing since all the flop
Oh yes, I’m sure he’s super worried about his former employees privacy. I suspect it keeps him up at night.
Since Reddit filters have been doing overtime lately, let me just say…
It’s time for player 2 to enter the game
Obstructing his salary accommodation to purchase a new yacht.
From what I hear, it was just literally a bash script that crawled through the „public“ company org chart?
I guess you can call it a „tool“, in the most crude term.
Way to go Bill. Deleting my account now. FU.
I have never used Pinterest and I will not ever be using it. Whatever it is.
If you work at bigger, established company in a conservative industry it comes with the territory. Not shocked you don’t like or agree with it
That guy looks like some kinda douche
The ads are honestly so annoying- they’re doing the MOST and now the content is repetitive 🙄
I feel bad for the people who will lose their jobs, but I truly don’t care about Pinterest in the slightest.
Can neither confirm nor deny that I work here. Can neither confirm nor deny I once passed Bill on the stairs and was immediately eclipsed with all-consuming darkness.
I don’t get Pintrist. Everything I see is AI. All fake.
Lol. If you read an article, you can tell that all they were doing was filling out a spreadsheet of names on someone’s Google Drive. “Created a tool” My ass. 😂 What a bunch of shit. Everyone does this
Hello. I am human. I never use Shiterest. Tis a silly place.
