请问HN:YC的伦理是什么?
昨天首页上出现了一个“招聘”链接。在表示他们计划收购“盈利的SaaS公司”后,紧接着又说“没有支持人员处理工单”。这可是一个相当大的警告信号;如果我是付费客户,一旦这家公司收购了我的供应商,我会努力寻找替代方案。
这个商业计划听起来像是无情的私募股权公司,他们进来后削减员工开支,并将订阅价格提高几个数量级,以提升估值,然后以巨额利润将其出售给一些毫不知情的买家,完全不顾对客户、员工以及可能对他们的金钱动机产生抵制的其他人的后果。
“如果你认为我们错了,就不要申请。”我敢肯定,这对于任何提供的工作来说本不需要说明。这样的措辞只让我更加确认缺乏细腻的考虑。
这就是Y Combinator目前的伦理吗?

A “hiring” link came across the front page yesterday. After saying they plan to acquire “profitable SaaS companies,” they soon follow with “No support staff answering tickets.” That’s a pretty big red flag; if I’m the paying customer, I’ll be working hard to find a replacement if this company acquires one of my vendors.<p>This business plan reads like Soulless Private Equity who comes in, eliminates staff expenditures and increases subscription pricing by an order of magnitude to pump the valuation, then sells to some unwitting buyer at a huge profit with a total disregard for the consequences to customers, employees, and whomever else might provide resistance to their monetary motives.<p>“If you think we're wrong, don't apply.” I’m pretty sure that should go without saying for any job on offer. Phrasing like this just confirms to me there’s no nuance.<p>Are these the current ethics in Y Combinator?
