I haven't, it was my understanding that PJ was one of the problem people at Gimlet when the whole BA thing went down so I've stopped following him.
Don't take that as gospel, though! I could be wrong. I haven't looked into it since it happened.
I feel like PJ was just burned out on the Spotify shit, when I listen to this podcast. He seems humbled. I decided to give him another shot.
Do we have any more details about that?
Full disclosure, I didn't read the whole thing. But I found it referenced here: https://www.vulture.com/article/gimlet-reply-all-controversy-spotify-test-kitchen.html
I also always thought that PJ was needlessly mean to Alex sometimes and I love Alex lol
I actually did read the whole thing. It's interesting, I don't really know how to feel about it. It sounds like a cluster and even though those two may have been jerks called out by that one person, it sounded like management itself rested with lieber, some other person and to some extent Alex himself?
It kind of raps up sort of rosey, Alex is on the bargaining committee, Vogt now supposedly supports the union and its goals. And I think everyone is still part of the company in some way? Maybe with the exception of Piannameni, they were kind of vague about her fate with the company.
