: It says he should look into it. No where does it say he has considered it or even has it on his radar.

When I hire new employees I look for people who are excited about the opportunity and not just in it for the money. This has served me pretty well throughout my years as a business professional, entrepreneur, recruiter, and HR Staffing Manager.Which makes me really scratch my head in wonder about the new employment website (Read More)

There was an interesting discussion on socialmedian today regarding the daily "deadpool" and "layoff tracker" updates on sites like TechCrunch.It's sensationalist journalism. It's done just for ratings. It's counter productive. It's hyperbolic. And it's time for it to go. There's no need for it and no place for it.All (Read More)

: MORE FROM THE POST: This writer/startup CEO also wonders outloud if the new media websites/blogs (the TechCrunch's, ValleyWag's, etc.) of the world will be as transparent when they themselves go sideways, screw up, or god-forbid have to layoff some employees. They too are still figuring out their business models. And that's ok.I'd prefer we just change the tone entirely and focus on substance vs. getting ratings out necessary layoffs. In fact, I'd much rather read a thoughtful post by one of the editors of the new media websites/blogs on why they think tech startups should or should not tighten the belt right now. Lead that debate vs. encouraging the pile on. There are going to be A LOT of layoffs in the months ahead in startup land. We're just getting started on this. Let's get ahead of it and plan for resources for the laid-off. Take a leadership position in interviewing and highlighting companies who are hiring. Be part of the solution.

: I think this echos what happens quite often in our culture--we build em up to tear them down. The failure of a company is like anything else, there are valuable lessons to be learned, but those lessons are extracted by a careful and measured postmortem--not via sensationalism and attention grabbing headlines on some blog.

In a sliding economic time, the easy thing to do is to report on the failures of companies, the potential for layoffs, quarterly financial warnings and misses, and reduced valuations. Some entrepreneurs will see the potential for trials and get cold feet, choosing to postpone starting their business. Others might reduce exp (Read More)
