Just saw that Madwell furloughed about 20-30% of their employees after having their biggest client Verizon drop them suddenly. Sounds like it’s only a matter of time before they fully fold, yeah?

‘Dropped them suddenly’, that’ll happen when you spend $17m on a private jet while not paying staff for 3 months. Also, something something adderall.

I was wondering if I should choose Verizon or Terminator Mobile to supply the phones for my bisiness but I'd verizon keeps dropping issues then maybe a sir cuss made of glass mina jeeries would do better to steer clear. ..

I feel bad for those laid off but you can’t blame clients for leaving

I like his reasoning that buying a $17 million jet was a way to get an aeeospace client. That's some top level thinking right there.

It was a about 30 people, a few got rehired the next day after they realized they needed them to finish projects lol

Anyone feel as if it’s hard to stay with a company when you’re the only one of color? (&young) I’ve work for 3 companies in past 5 years and have yet to make meaningful colleague relationships. I just do not relate to the conversation and just find it hard to picture myself being a long-term employee. I’ve had better relationships when working at wal-mart when I was in college. I feel it takes away some of the joy of having to go to work.

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.
