fwiw, the NYT response points out that the quote from Dina does not contradict the reporting.

The impression that I got from the Times article was that excessive workload led her to go for four days without sleep and to hire someone overseas to do part of her job for her. The fuller story from her LinkedIn post was that she was working, getting an MBA part time, and getting over a breakup, and that her coping mechanism for the breakup was to work long hours. Also, she hired the person overseas to scout leads because she wanted to try out an idea from The Four Hour Work Week. So the LinkedIn article certainly gave me a very different impression of her experience than the Times article, even if what the Times article said was factually accurate. The Times left out the parts that didn't fit into their narrative.
