One thing I've noticed is that the admins are super ready to ghost/delete/dead people who respond to companies with harsh critique.

It's the similar way Ycombinator-sponsored crap has no commenting at all. A good portion of them are basically 'clone Uber and cut out bureaucracy illegally', 'we scan your eyeballs for shitcoin', and similar grift.... But you can never say anything about those.

Not that I'm not also bitter and jaded, but what made you think a VC-funded pg forum was going to be at all fair and open with stuff like this?

Cause people like dang have said exactly that.

True but I think they were being sarcastic with their post.

Can you give any examples?

FWIW, I'm in favor of an unusually strong admin presence on that thread. It's been a good place for me to find jobs, and I don't want employers scared away from it.

When will we have sympathy for the people who have mortgages and families instead of the massive companies with millions or billions of dollars?

I've been unemployed for a year now. My desire to not chase away job-posters is quite self-centered.

What if there is no job and the "job interview" is just a ruse to train their staff on interviewing?

Sometimes if they didn't hire one guy it doesn't mean they really don't hire anyone. Skill issue/sour grapes/personal incompatibility/etc.

I was unaware of the rule that you can't criticize companies and got a comment moderated away. The rules are written down somewhere, maybe on the top of the threads? Forgot exactly where

Middle of every "Who is hiring?" main post

Yes, scroll to the very end of every recent "Who is hiring?" post and you will see dead and detached comments about how companies are misbehaving.
