You’re correct. If it had more information about the logistics of, say, outfitting their new network infra or whatever, that’d be one thing–as it is, it’s a press release. Good catch.
Given it’s currently hidden by five users, you’re probably on to something. Based solely on my completely 100% scientific half-paying attention observation powers, five is high.
General rule Ive observed is on/off topic isn’t worth mentioning if it has a lot of upvotes. Many readers already voted for it yo be here at that point. On top of that, several high-voted submissions happened while the people were at RC. That boosts popularity further.
Looks pretty awesome. Glad you wrote this up since I’ve never heard of a lactation room before this post. Sounds like a good idea. The other thing that was interesting was dedicated rooms to take phone calls. I can’t remember last time I saw one of them either. People out here in Mid-South just move to some spot where people know not to bother them like an office, conference room, bathroom stall, stairwell, outside, etc. A dedicated room, esp with some soundproofing, would be better but I guess it wasn’t priority for most businesses out here. Were there any selling points past privacy or legal compliance for that idea in case I can use them out here?
I’m super happy about this! I’m planning on moving to Brooklyn later this year and now I won’t need to commute to Manhattan for RC.
This seems off-topic to me. A company is moving, what’s technical about that?
I think there’s some selection bias – there’s lots of recursers on lobste.rs, so stuff about recurse is more likely to hit the front page.

I’ve always seen them titled “mother’s room”s at my workplaces. They’re a newer thing but seem to be on the rise in popularity.
The sound proofed phone room is for interviews and phone screens.
