It's very sad to see the amount of people here blaming an employee. I think under these conditions they didn't do anything more aggressive than the manager.

Calling out a manager for bad behaviour shouldn't be vilified like this, especially when they are doing the same up the ladder to you. I think HN is just soaked in "fellow kids" types who are trying to stay hip and trendy and get their startup seen.

This isn't a site for tech junkies, it's a site for managers and they hate hate hate that this describes many of them.
