one of the two (2) times I’ve cried at work since joining NYT was when I got in big trouble for talking to an exec on background. since then, I have offered to walk out of interviews rather than default to background, and... a lot of people say “ok fine” and go on record.
feels like magic! but also a big lesson for me in not accepting the weird secrecy that tech companies expect by default.
wait also I just remembered another time I cried so (3) total cries here
Helps to have a big bully pulpit from which to threaten, but yes... background is super weird and dumb in almost all cases.
yeah it’s definitely a flex that works a bit better with a big brand name backing you up
One strategy I like is “if you can’t provide me with an on record comment, we’re going to say you declined to comment on the record.” Weirdly simple but keeps them from copping out by offering already-public statements as a “response.”
