Is traveling for work a perk or a burden?
Being laid off was unfortunate last year but it is common now. Just rounds by rounds. It offers no surprise now. Now the whole company shutdown is more unfortunate eg wework, convoy, brex soon. Some of them were pretty famous. I think brex was some star fintech unicorn. What else companies are going to shutdown/bankrupt?
How's Rippling? They are always reaching out but I dismiss it because I hear it's just basically Amazon in terms of culture. Is that a correct assumption?
Brex was one of the hottest companies around three years ago. I interviewed with them. I got offers from Roblox, Facebook ,Google, and more, but failed Brex because so many people were clamoring to join. I would love to bag on them for rejecting me, but from what I remember, they were pleasant enough.
What would make you happy about people loosing their jobs when companies close ? Like what really ? I know it’s weird to expect people on an anonymous platform to care - but why from a human perspective knowing it wasn’t their liking or making would you be happy in that situation ? Did these companies reject you? Do you have friends that work or worked there that you feel intimidated by ?
It is failure. No growth.
High burning with no growth
What's wrong with you? All your posts are about Brex. Why do you have such a hard on for the company that laid you off or denied you a job?
So you're laughing at companies shutting down and people losing their jobs?
Yes
