Congratulations You’ve Been Fired
Does anyone have more context on Dan Lyons?After reading this article, and the one from Fortune[0], and his post on LinkedIn[1], it feels like he's out there scraping together blatant PR for his new book. And it makes me honestly wonder whether he went to work for HubSpot looking for a story to write in the first place... and being a writer for the "Silicon Valley" TV series doesn't really help his credibility in that sense.Disclaimer: I really don't know anything about this story. Something just feels off. Maybe HubSpot really is that bad, who knows.[0]: http://fortune.com/disrupted-excerpt-hubspot-startup-dan-lyo...[1]: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-comes-age-bias-tech-comp...---Edit:After listening to the interview from @CPLX's response[2] I have to agree, he doesn't seem outlandish or anything. And all of the points he makes about HubSpot's content model being complete spam I agree with. I've definitely never liked interacting with HubSpot as a consumer, that much I know.I feel like in these scenarios he's incentivized to get outlandish PR for his book, so some of the things I'd take with a grain of salt--sentences like, "The offices bear a striking resemblance to the Montessori preschool that my kids attended: lots of bright basic colors, plenty of toys, and a nap room with a hammock and soothing palm tree murals on the wall." But there is probably a lot truth to his story as well.@ghaff also summed it up well: "That said, I find it's a cogent perspective even if it probably shouldn't be taken as literally accurate reportage."[2]: http://www.npr.org/2016/04/05/473097951/laid-off-tech-journa...
