Save face? Are you under the impression that I have something to prove, or care about what you or HN thinks? This isn't reddit, I don't make comments with the intention of getting "upvotes" nor do I care how many I get. I posted a comment about vacation on a thread about vacation, trying to start up discussion. Then you came along and made a dumbass assumption about a situation you clearly have no insight or actual knowledge of, and something that does not at all contribute to the discussion at hand.
Go read my comment history and you'll see I'm not shy about the fact that I am looking for other jobs, but I'm waiting out until my RSUs vest before leaving my current place. In the mean time, take your negative comments and "karma whoring" attitude back to reddit, it's not welcome here.
