TLDR: junior associates just don’t get it.

Are you kidding me? When we’re you going to communicate this? Am I supposed to just pick up the slack here and do your work for you? Our client deadline hasn’t changed. Was it just going to magically get done? WTF

I held WORK (Slack) through the Salesforce Acquisition. I got a cash payout for $26 per stock. But I bought for $30-34. So I lost $8 per stock? And then they gave me CRM (Salesforce) stock, but I don’t know how they calculated the shares. So basically, I should have sold WORK before the acquisition closed?
