Why did you include emails threatening to blackmail Simple AI to get more money ("wondering what a fair exit package looks like ... and what I should post on Linkedin to update my network"), then indicating that after you received $20K in payment, you "wouldn't bother" them? All of this following a him-or-me demand email. And then making this post? It's a pattern of self-destructive behavior. The best possible course…

i'll antagonize whoever i deem to antagonize because usually when i do i ask questions and then they can respond and we call that conversation.

that's my preferred form of antagonism is written speech on the internet. please excuse me while i continue antagnozing you who has nothing to do with the employer in question at all whatsover and never will

good luck to you sir

I feel for you, getting fired is pretty terrible, and and everyone assumes you did something bad to earn it. But you forgot to say a few things in your post: Hey everyone, I made an expensive move and changed my life for a job, and it didn't work out. In fact, I got fired. If anyone is looking for someone with experience in X Y and Z, I'm your guy. Reading the title, I thought the company did something horrible to yo…

to be clear: company did nothing horrible. obviously. i have repeatedly stated how great they are.

now, if they were more great maybe i could have done more things but that's beside the point. and in the past now that we finished signing our papers of exit. whatever that means i dont read fine print i just write my own terms of life

> i believe curiosity leads all SF dwellers to great success and wealth over time. There are tens of thousands of SF dwellers that believe the same thing, and end up flipping burgers to afford rent in a shoebox. If this is the same philosophy that you bring into the workplace then I understand why you're treated like a liability.

come check out my view tho it's quite nice next to Oracle Park we can see from twin peaks to bay bridge. if i smell bad it means i failed to shower and if you can see me you probably also pay $6k/mo rent without issue.

Im not really sure what you are wanting to communicate here? is it that you need a new job and this is the hook? or do you have some insight into better ways of being letgo/fired/parted ways with? its also not clear how long you were there for? (i'm not in the business of stalking people on linkedin)

thank you for expressing your uncertainty by commenting KaiserPro some of us CEO types gotta grind and stalk on linkedin until the people come to us haha

i mostly stalk myself on the internet. i keep re-reading everything i write.

If you are looking for your next job, just consider that your future employers will read your blog and your comments here. Since you consider yourself as a CEO type, you are fine, then. However, when you want to raise money from VCs, the latter can also read your comments.

this one might be my favorite.
