Tell HN: If you're running this years April Fools project, you're expendable

3 pointsby forgottenacc56about 10 years ago
Nearly ready for the most hilarious day of the year?<p>Just remember if the CEO thinks that you&#x27;re just the right person to run this years bigger-than-ever April Fools hoax, you&#x27;ll also be first out the door when the downturn comes.<p>The CEO knows who is doing real work.

Sounds like you have an axe to grind. Maybe it&#x27;s best to address this issue directly rather than making passive-aggressive public posts in hopes that whoever you&#x27;re upset with will read them, or random strangers will agree with you.

High profile April Fools hoaxes can serve as a massive boost to brand awareness and could be seen as a large scale marketing campaign.<p>That&#x27;s my impression anyway, I&#x27;ve never worked anywhere that has done one.

Judging by some of blizzard&#x27;s april fool&#x27;s they put some of their prime talent there. Depends on the company I suppose.

or he might promote the guy to Chief Jesting Officer and put him in charge of company culture. He&#x27;d have my vote!
