Wow. Wonder what Robert Scoble is going to say about this... He's been talking them up recently on Facebook.


From his facebook post:

"If your executive team is mostly white guys I'm staying away too"

Um, what? Why does the race or ethnicity of the exec team have anything to do with anything? Insert any race into that sentence. Completely ridiculous. This guy is a nutball, and so is the company culture.

How about this...

"If your executive team is mostly white guys [which indicates that you're mining from the same labor pool as everyone else, and shows you're not willing to do basic legwork,] I'm staying away too."


Scoble's statement: https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble/posts/1015528797164465...

The post others are linking to from a few days ago seems to be referencing Rackspace, as UploadVR has not lost its CEO.


Scoble works (EDIT: worked) for UploadVR. https://uploadvr.com/scoble-why-vr/


He no longer works there according to his LinkedIn, and posted this a few days ago: https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble/posts/1015527865493465...


I love how Scoble thinks that just because he doesn't include the company's name means he isn't violating the non-disparagement clause


Think this case may have just rendered any damages moot, however.


Thanks for the followup.

> But I'll add one more new sign: "if your social media team leaves your company is f*ed."

It's worth noting the plaintiff of this case was the head of the UploadVR social media team.


I'll add one more sign: they've got a sex room.

Joel Spolsky being down on aquariums seems rather quaint now.
