Slickdeals thinks 20 employees is enough

Guess so with all the free mods!

Even though deal-sharing site Slickdeals has been around for more than a decade, CEO Bryant Quan says it's still pretty much in startup mode.

With more than a 100 million page views every month and only 20 full-time employees, there's a ratio of 5 million customers to one employee, which means Slickdeals had to build a team flexible enough to wear many hats and make decisions independently.

Ehh *personal opinion* I saw it when it was first posted and was tempted to remove it since I don't like having my full name plastered on the public forum but do accept that it is public knowledge if anyone looked it up on linkedin...but then they would have to look it up.

Some of us have had personal threats... keep in mind we have over 140K active users and not all are happy when we have to discipline. So..making it even easier for them to locate me (especially as a single woman) doesn't make me happy. Also some of these people listed have small children.

I don't hold anything against him for posting the stuff since it is accessible publicly...but I would have been more at ease and happier had it not been plastered here.

Just my thoughts.


And VQ..they are not the same person Stick Out Tongue I cannot give proof though. How about you let us know if you ever visit Vegas and maybe..just maybe if the timing is right you can meet them both...at the same time Faint laugh out loud
Crying maybe i should start living in cave where no one can find me Crying

Schooby I respect your right to privacy, sorry if my post made you feel uncomfortable. I can see your point of view and decided to delete my post with the links to the linked-in profiles.

I really don't care about ban threats.... they are baseless as I technically did no wrong it was very easy to find the information. Again this is a lesson to all.... what you decide to join or post on the Internet is permanent. It is so easy to look up its scary.

Anyhow you guys run a great site and I do appreciate what you do. The rest of the posters need to chill its very easy to cast stones from afar..... in the end each one of you is responsible for your own privacy. Think twice. If I can find it...anyone can. Be paranoid....the online access to data is real.

Oh and remember... change those easy to guess passwords. 15 char + random..... then feel safer. Security starts with you.
Quit yer crying because its you who put the info out there in the first place...IMO

I didn't nor would I threaten to ban you.I am sure that speedy was joking.

You have done nothing wrong in posting it...it is public information. I was just stating how I felt about it.

Thanks for your consideration. Smilie

NO!!! Ranting No way! Nono2 We have to use 15 character passwords, with a capital letter and a number (luckily no symbols needed yet) for work, and I hate it!!! Plus, we have to change it every 60 or 75 days, so you can never really remember what the long sentence is that you use.
