Month: April 2022

IIRC, there was a general strike planned to start on may first. Current thoughts?

Title. Everyone was pulled into a town hall meeting and we were told we are all losing our jobs on the 20th of May. If you use coinbase, you need to be aware of the following: 300+ angry and soon to be unemployed coinbase agents have full administrative access to your Coinbase account, your KYC information, and your assets.

Without their initiative in helping me and their insight, I most-likely would've been stuck in this job for years, thinking my rate of pay was decent. Now on to the really rewarding part… About an hour after sending my resignation, my current boss (of three months) pings me on an MS Teams call, and I calmly and happily pick up. First thing out of their mouth with a very agitated tone is, “I guess you couldn't wait to see if we could do anything for you?!?!” I calmly replied…
