Heard some rumors

I received an offer, and while it’s not perfect, it would get me out of this place, which is my main goal right now. That said, if there’s a chance I’ll be laid off in the next few weeks or even months, I might hold off a bit longer and keep... — read more

Sure! Let’s renew AK’s sh-tty podcast right after one of the worst quarters of all time! This is a joke. She clearly can’t get her head out of her a$$. Board of directors has to do something…

What are we expecting?
