The "web" link allows you to access WSJ w/o any subscription.
The web link does not work for every HN user. WSJ always displays the paywall for certain geo-locations, even when Google is the referrer. This applies to Germany and multiple other countries.

On a meta HN note, whenever a WSJ article gets submitted, invariably someone mentions the existence of the web link and the method in which to bypass the paywall. It's almost as if we are better served by having a bot that creates a comment informing users of the existence and purpose of this link in situations where the domain is known to have paywalls.
Alternatively, pay for a damn subscription and stop moaning that the free lunch is over.
Really, the big news here is Gusto. Gusto has hands-down slipped right passed Zenefits and will consume their market.

Click the [-] on the thread to collapse it, thank your overlords, and move on. Works every time. Alternatively, pay for a damn subscription and stop moaning that the free lunch is over.
Put up paywalls and dont even make it remotely easy to actually pay. Then bitch about you not having an account, still want you to click on a thousand facebook and twitter links and have ads that slow the site down to a standstill and what not.
Newspapers are really not having it easy huh. Throughout the web, you either run a subscription or monetize with ads. Newspapers do both and cant even hire an engineer who doesnt shit out a javascript turd that will never load.

Its the newspapers who will realize that the free lunc his over when nobody needs their crap anymore. Put up paywalls and dont even make it remotely easy to actually pay.

I bet you wouldn't see WSJ articles on HN if this was the case.
Yet they keep showing up, paywall or no.

Not sure that is strictly true. I live in Germany and the web link gives me WSJ with no pay wall.
Feels like an old school Friday night news drop. Man, Zenefits has had it rough in the press recently. I think Sacks has done an extraordinarily good job as CEO. Hard to put oneself in the CEOs shoes here, but this guy had to make multiple huge decisions and changes to Zenefits over the past year. Sacks' consistency of right calls and handling things deftly under a ton of pressure, I can't remember the last time a CE…
This was partially his mess as well since he was COO before becoming CEO, no? And he has a very significant investment in Zenefits which he made when becoming COO, so while he does not draw a cash salary, it's hard to say he is under-compensated given the investment opportunity and his ownership stake. I do think he had a very difficult job as turnarounds are tough, and he made a good effort.

I'm just amazed that you can expect the 5,000 people at the Wall Street Journal to work for you for free, and then accuse them of pursuing a "free lunc".
