Big mistake - I guarantee it!

The capitalisation of every letter in the title makes it completely unreadable.

Blame the mods. The original title I submitted it under was 'Men's Wearhouse Founder and CEO fired after 40 years' which I felt captured the interest value for startup founders on HN far better. The current headline is not the one on Bloomberg either, but appears to have been (poorly) composed by the mod.

Why is this on hacker news?

I'm glad you asked. I hate to be That Guy. But I'm baffled. Is this a key supplier of cheap suits for interviewees who don't know better? What's the connection?

Furthermore, many people in our industry don't even wear suits to interviews (I've interviewed many candidates and never interviewed a candidate in a suit)

Zimmer is an entrepreneur and his startup was Men’s Wearhouse.

By that logic, every business where the founder is still in charge should be on the front page. This is Hacker News, not startup news. The focus is on startups where tech is a fundamental part of the business model. Brick and mortar stores are about as far as you can get from a tech startup.
