My Fake Internet Job
from the mmmm...-free-food dept
A reporter from the New Yorker apparently walked into the offices of Luminant and pretended to be an employee for two whole weeks. He found a desk, got a phone extension, held fake meetings, and enjoyed the free food and corporate massages. Then he wrote it up in the New Yorker (tragically, the New Yorker is not online). Now Luminant is freaking out, and deciding whether or not to sue the guy.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
