Martin Shkreli is the scumbag’s name you’re looking for.
From wikipedia: He was convicted of financial crimes for which he was sentenced to seven years in federal prison, being released on parole after roughly six and a half years in 2022, and was fined over 70 million dollars
I could maybe see people using it professionally for $44 a month. I don’t see them being successful marketing to the casual, curious, and hobbyists for 3x a streaming subscription.
oi look at the brain on this one!
I was once in a similar position: company merger and they decided to move support offshore. We got 6 months lead notice and generous severance paid out as long as we stayed to the end. Fast forward a year and they took 85% customer approval to 13%. We got hired back at 1.5x our old pay rate, so not quite the 3x you mentioned. Hoping this works out similar for you in the end.
Prices on all cars were crazy high, not just EVs.
Were? They suddenly became sensibly priced? Guess I wasn’t paying attention.
Dwarf Fortress no longer counts, huh?
Then they get to suffer the consequences when shit like this happens
Oh, they are.
I’d be surprised if a data center didn’t.
Then you’d be surprised.
More than that: it’s an IT security and infrastructure admin issue. How was this 3rd party software update allowed to go out to so many systems to break them all at once with no one testing it?
Crowdstrike did the same to Linux servers previously.
If you have urgent questions or concerns, consider contacting CrowdStrike support directly.
Something tells me that isn’t going to provide the comfort it was meant to.
Those nickels comprise most of my wages.
We can’t wait to find out!
My work let all the contractors know that they can comvert or their contracts will not be renewed again. I know at least one guy that would be taking a 40k pay cut.
I was just hired on along with another guy. We found out that one of our team members who has been with the company for 10 years is making less than the new hires.
Another oddity of the situation: I worked with her in the same department 10 years ago as new hires. I left the company to double my salary and 10 years later came back and was hired at the same salary I had left for (took a pay cut for a better life).
I get so pissed off on her behalf. 8 years of mysoginistic managers screwing her over for raises, and now that she finally has a good manager, his hands are tied to give her a decebt, an deserved, raise or even salary parity with new-hires.
Would you like to know more?
Your criticism is so fetch.
