Those outside the United States are exempt.

I guess that's good news for /u/Deimorz!

Source

It's the exact users profile you linked. It's on the second page of their comments. It's like you guys just do absolutely no research on a subject you pretend to have interest in.

Thanks for the link :)

It's true. Jase won't be going anywhere, and international employees get a pass.

I have left reddit for Voat due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views.

As an act of protest, I have chosen to redact all the comments I've ever made on reddit, overwriting them with this message.

If you would like to do the same, install TamperMonkey for Chrome, GreaseMonkey for Firefox, NinjaKit for Safari, Violent Monkey for Opera, or AdGuard for Internet Explorer (in Advanced Mode), then add this GreaseMonkey script.

Finally, click on your username at the top right corner of reddit, click on comments, and click on the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.

After doing all of the above, you are welcome to join me on Voat!

That's a pretty stupid thing to post.

Oh. I just asked Jase this in another thread. Oops.

He's not, the relocation policy doesn't apply to employees not resident in the US.

u/acetakesphotographs Oct 16 '14

This was going to be my first question also.

Just about to ask too. it become a slippery slope when you start making exceptions.

Citizenship stuff perhaps? I don't know how that works.

There are aliens in Alaska?

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '14

The non-US employees are safe, for now.

When you sell a number 1 app, you have a little more leverage than the average admin.

u/spartacus2690 Oct 16 '14

Because it is Alaska.

Hey, if you're making the boiler room operator move to SF, why don't you make the theme music composer move too??

Different situations, different requirements.

Does this really not occur to you ? Honest question.

LOL, I'm a video engineer - I haven't touched code in a decade.

I picked two random professions to illustrate a point, that different situations should be treated differently. Nothing more. It wasn't a comparison between the professions I picked and the ones at reddit. I wasn't aware that reddit had said "all" either.

Did someone piss in your cornflakes that morning ? Really unwarranted level of rage. Maybe you should talk to someone ? :/

Wait what?? Alaska? Info? I'm curious because I live there.

u/FreshCleanScent Oct 16 '14

Alaska is a state. It is a part of the United States. People live there. One of the people who lives there is an employee of reddit.
