I know I have a different perspective as an analyst, but I would still expect a journalist to do more to figure out the reality of what's going on vs writing an opinion piece that clearly shows their disdain for someone posing tough questions about the current state of corporate America. In reality it's more of a blog style rant judging someone based on very little information.
YELP CEO OPEN LETTER FULL
Did they do an interview? Did they get full accounts from both sides? So how can her interpretation of Talia's work ethic be considered credible. In all honesty I feel like the above writer is doing a disservice to journalism as a whole. You can't possibly begin to draw conclusions based on so little information. When you don't delve into details you really don't identify the root of any issue. We have become a nation of people who skim headlines and only look at the surface. The fact that she had a picture of expensive liquor on her Instagram is anecdotal evidence at best. I've been down on hard times just like anyone and I've had friends offer to pay in order to get me out. Unless the writer followed the woman the original story is about, she can't really make any judgements on anything that appears in social media. She then channeled her thoughts into a post on Medium, entitled 'An Open Letter To My CEO.' Medium / Via The post, which has been shared across the tech world on Twitter and been viewed more than 85,000 people, goes into detail about Janes struggles making ends meet. The writer referenced the woman's Instagram, but the pictures there don't really mean anything.
Everyone has a different path that they walk and it's hard for one person to tell another that their struggles are real or not. Yelp got back to Talia ASAP… to fire her.The writer in the above linked article seemed extremely jaded and very judgemental. Isn’t that ironic? Your employee for your food delivery app that you spent $300 million to buy can’t afford to buy food. Because 80% of my income goes to paying my rent. But we’re not allowed to take any of that home because it’s for at-work eating.
Bread is a luxury to me, even though you’ve got a whole fridge full of it on the 8th floor. Not because I’m lazy, but because I got this 10-pound bag of rice before I moved here and my meals at home (including the one I’m having as I write this) consist, by and large, of that. I haven’t bought groceries since I started this job. She explains how she can’t afford groceries because 80% of her income goes to paying rent: I actually haven’t seen him in the past few months.
Another wrote on those neat whiteboards we’ve got on every floor begging for help because he was bound to be homeless in two weeks. Deja vu, anyone It was just two weeks ago that I published Emotional Intelligence 101: Why a Millennial’s Letter to Yelp’s CEO Got Her Fired, detailing a Yelp/Eat 24 employees Medium post. Talia Jane was still working in customer service for Yelps Eat24 delivery service when she decided to blog about her work frustrations in an open letter addressed to Stoppelman on Medium. She ended up leaving the company and moving east, somewhere the minimum wage could double as a living wage. Expresses Serious Concern and Disappointment with the Abysmal Performance of Yelp’s Stock Price. A 25-year-old woman lost her job just hours after complaining to Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman about her salary. One of them started a GoFundMe because she couldn’t pay her rent. They’re taking side jobs, they’re living at home. Every single one of my coworkers is struggling. So here I am, 25 years old, balancing all sorts of debt and trying to pave a life for myself that doesn’t involve crying in the bathtub every week.
