Most job/hiring advice and anecdotes on HN seem to be very adversarial. Obviously this makes for a better story, but why aren't we seeing more posts about preventing this sort of employee-employer breakdown - i.e. "Don't Work for Assholes".

Secondly, I'd be happy if my stock options amounted to more than the cost of a couple rounds of drinks. Expecting to receive high value from something so nebulous seems presumptuous.
