Why post wsj stuff that's behind a paywall?

Because it's fairly easy to click the "web" link under the title in HN and get to the full article via Google.

That no longer works, unfortunately. WSJ found a workaround.

Really? It seems to work for me. Are they still A/B testing the change, perhaps?

Mike Isaac from the NYT had a good response: https://twitter.com/mikeisaac/status/701918200305418244

Zenefits is more silly than the stereotypical startup. Even a joke in HBO's Silicon Valley is not as silly as what's being reported at Zenefits.

They've hit that sweet spot on the controversy spectrum where you could pretty much say anything about Zenefits and have it be believable. The WSJ article makes it sound like being a teacher in a rough and tumble high school.

Unfortunately most Wall Street investment banks would make Zenefits look like preschool.

Seems like upper management in most companies is as red pill as it gets...

Similar reports from Google's upper management as well if we are to believe some books...

reminded - 20+ years ago an office supply cabinet at our company (in Russia) in addition to vodka (to avoid employees scoring cheap and frequently poisonous bootleg) and cigarettes had condoms too - times were fast, everybody young and it was an easy way to avoid unintended complications down the road :)
