By corporation, I don’t necessarily mean Wired, or Conde Nast. If you read the interview with Aaron Swartz, Reddit co-founder who was laid off (seemingly without a well-defined reason) from Reddit a couple of months ago, he is resentful, but he doesn’t seem to blame his employers all that much. It looks more likely that the corporate kind of life wore him down little by little, until he started coming in late, or not showing up at all, which is probably high on the list of reasons for him getting fired.
The interview itself is quite interesting, but there are two important things to be learned from this.
1. Getting bought by a BigCo might not always have a happy ending.
2. You can’t hide your dirty laundry from social media, even if you own it. The link to the interview with Aaron is currently the top link on Reddit (screenshot below).

企业公司出现对合作创始人的整顿
通过合作，这不仅仅是只电线的连接，或者Conde Nast。如果你看了Aaron Swartz专访， Reddit作为合作的创始人几个月前就从Reddit公司下岗（但似乎没有一个很好的解释理由），他感到很怨恨，但是他没有过多的责备他的雇主。这似乎看上去他的团队合作意识正在被渐渐消磨，直到他后来开始进入，又或者一点也没有显现出来，这也许就是他被列在解雇名单之列的原因吧。
面试本身是很有趣的，但从这个事件中我们能学到重要的两点：
1． 被大公司录用并不意味着就会有很好的结果。
2． 你不可能把你需要干洗的脏衣服隐藏在众目睽睽之下，即使你做到了。通过和 Aaron的面试，就是最近一次和Reddit的接触。(下面是屏幕截图)
