"Flickr is hiring" on Facebook

You might’ve seen it there, too.

Being the nosy SOB that I am, I clicked on the image.  First I was wondering:  is that really the Flickr dev pod?  And sure enough, it is.  Or was?  I noticed on the user’s profile that he used to work for Flickr.

Now, the photo is licensed as Attribution-Sharealike; which is great.  And I don’t believe that this is in any way a violation of the license.  It’s just…  Call me crazy but it seemed like a little bit of an odd choice, using a former employee’s photo.  But maybe only slightly?
