Why post wsj stuff that's behind a paywall?

Because it's fairly easy to click the "web" link under the title in HN and get to the full article via Google.

That no longer works, unfortunately. WSJ found a workaround.

Really? It seems to work for me. Are they still A/B testing the change, perhaps?

Not working for me. :-(

Similar reports from Google's upper management as well if we are to believe some books...

Zenefits is more silly than the stereotypical startup. Even a joke in HBO's Silicon Valley is not as silly as what's being reported at Zenefits.

They've hit that sweet spot on the controversy spectrum where you could pretty much say anything about Zenefits and have it be believable. The WSJ article makes it sound like being a teacher in a rough and tumble high school.

Unfortunately most Wall Street investment banks would make Zenefits look like preschool.

The true reason for the change in management comes out...

Is a full text version?
