Hypocrisy is the norm with much of what passes through here.

At least GS employees don't have any pretensions to holiness.

I'd much rather work with people who are honest with themselves about their motivations than who try to push the suffering under the surface with bullshit rationalizations like that in the post.

It isn't hypocritical. Facebook is a giant startup, after all. Perhaps much of the loose, casual culture still remains there, and you don't have to worry about the corporate shell games and hierarchy that financial firms like GS would have in scads.

We're here to communicate, not bicker over popularity contests.

What is the karma threshold to get down voting ability?
