@abff08f4813c are they hoping to be fired by posting these comments on Reddit itself? Wouldn't surprise me. What a shithole.

Oops. To clarify, these are anonymous posts on teamblind dot com, not on reddit itself. Then someone on r/ModCoord reposted this there.

Blind is an app where people can sign up anonymously but have to verify they actually work at a company by registering their company email. In the app there is a company-internal community, and various Blind-global communities. You can see which company every person is from - so all these people have "Reddit" next to their names, meaning they validated with their Reddit company email and are current or former employees.

It's a toxic cesspool. I have so many screencaptures of terrible Blind conversations. Wonderful to gawk at when I'm bored. Edit: I've captured some of my favorites at @BestofBlind .

What makes it toxic? Is it just full of people dunking on each other solely due to where they work?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes, that, as well as this weird culture to put your TC (total compensation - cash + stocks) at the end of your post so everyone knows how much money you make and people occasionally dunk on those who don't make enough. There's a large amount of sexism, racism, and transphobia floating around as well - just a byproduct of total anonymity. The only benefit is really the internal company discussions.

Everyone should know how everyone else is compensated.

I agree but they shouldn't be assholes about it. Don't rag on someone making less than you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not really a primary point of your post, but you might consider that recent history, and history in general, provide many examples where sexism, racism, and transphobia do not remotely depend on anonymity.

At least in the corporate sphere there is a large overlap between shitty people and those that don't value privacy.

adding on to OP’s reply, these users are verified reddit employees with their emails attached.
