It appears the same person also insulted their future CTO in public for asking a harmless question on Twitter?<p><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/nomadtechie/status/1283841795210858496" rel="nofollow">https://mobile.twitter.com/nomadtechie/status/12838417952108...</a><p>"Sometimes I wish I was a mediocre white man so that I could coast as CTO of a multi-billion dollar company." and RTing Jason Warner.<p>I don't know him personally, but from what I heard, Mr. Warner is most likely extremely good at understanding and planning complex distributed software systems. And if I was him, I'd then feel slightly offended to be called "mediocre white man".<p>I understand that I'll most likely get downvoted into oblivion for this comment, because I'm not supporting the person claiming minority discrimination here. (Or else there would be little reason for her to reduce the GitHub CTO to his male and white attributes.)<p>But just in case there's anyone here considering something similar, let me advise you that insulting your boss in public (no matter which gender or skin color) is probably never the right move of you want a better job offer from them.
I don't know the circumstances, but if a company is paying well above the market (I've been a recipient of such good fortune before), what are the odds of retaining that in an acquisition?
