It's a successful IPO and many friends worked there celebrated in social media. I definitely felt happy for them(especially the truly smart ones, not only the lucky ones) and echoed! However some posts in social media posted by some of Airbnb employees are really disgusting. I was once a true Airbnb believer and hoped they could disrupt the travel/OTA industry. But from what those random employees rave, it's clear that their culture interviews got hacked. Also they're still far away from their mission. For instance "Airbnb is a charity and so responsive on allowing people to cancel the room for free" WTF, All major hotel chain allow flexible cancellation for all channels first. Airbnb followed slower, because they're hesitating on reaping hosts. After announcement, some compensation has been finally paid to hosts after the rising anger from hosts... For instance "Airbnb is doing fantastic job to turnover the bad trend, amazing business and engineering...". Come on. Really? Do you know a word "Anti-epidemic fatigue"? Do you know why we still have 30K+ COVID 19 cases everyday? Airbnb's business should thank for those irrational people who want to go out and comfort themselves that airbnb is much safer than hotel... Even not arguing with those probability, Hotel is also recovering.If there is a magic, then it's shared across industry not only airbnb. From East Asia's controlled situation, the data shown that, major hotel chain's business recovers more quickly than short term rental. For instance,"I am now truly believing infinite horizon is the only way for us to live"... where are you, when the valuation went down to the 18B? Why not you stay in the company living in such a notable way? BTW, where is OYO? Why not IPO together to build your beautiful mission together? Is the investment loss is already counted as pandemic loss? Lastly, I think the leadership of Airbnb is really nice to employees. What they do in layoff is so classical and I want to show my respect to them. I also believe they will show some growth after pandemic. But to someone, don't take all the credit to yourself, it's almost nothing because of you or leadership direction. #tech #airbnb
