F.U. medium.com

In the world of podcasting, “F.U.” means “followup”. In Dropcam co-founder Greg Duffy’s response to that Nest article from last week, I think it also means the other thing:

The ~50 Dropcam employees who resigned did so because they felt their ability to build great products being totally crushed. All of us have worked at big companies before, where it is harder to move fast. But this is something different, as evidenced by the continued lack of output from the currently 1200-person team and its virtually unlimited budget. According to LinkedIn, total attrition to date at Nest amounts to nearly 500 people, which suggests that we were not alone in our frustrations.

My, the rules of public relations certainly have changed.
