Reading things like this is the primary way I learn that I'm getting old. I mean, I just don't get it. There doesn't seem to be a purpose, and no ostensible benefit to be had.
Externalizing feelings.
can be done productively.

fyi the purpose is to get a new job, thanks for the -3 downvotes. haha
What leads you to believe this post would make you attractive to another employer? You even publicly posted your Separation Agreement, which contains a confidentiality clause in which you "agree[d] to maintain in complete confidence the existence of this Agreement." It hurts to be let go and in these economic times, it can be scary. But this post is actually doing the opposite of what you want it to.
my network is not on hacker news comments nor linkedin reading crap like what i posted haha.

Median age of a YC founder is 24-25. It’s kids hiring kids for startup pressure cookers where most will fail. Professionalism is nice, I highly recommend it when you’re equipped to deliver it (both emotionally and through life experience) but as a professional, I wouldn’t expect it in these contexts. More like a series of tech frat houses grinding to liquidity, acquisition, or failure (from least to most likely). If…
excellent analysis. except when the kids hiring someone older than them. named zach & andy. haha
I can appreciate the experience you had. With time and experience comes wisdom. Most of us are figuring all of this out along the way. Try to approach these situations with grace in the future, even when you aren’t managed as you’d expect to be. Assume positive intent until you have strong evidence you no longer shouldn’t, but also have a strong safety net and plans so you’re never tied to a job economically. This makes getting fired or having to quit a minor annoyance versus an event making you feel like you need to scorch the Earth. Wishing you a positive trajectory and that you land somewhere more compatible.

#45I 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…

Even you you had cleared the cliff the equity is going to end up worthless 90% of the time. Equity is a carrot that you usually never get, like the donkey you just keep chasing it.
equity is ownership, period.
It's only worth what someone will pay for it. And often there are no buyers.

Your network is not on HN but you submitted this and asked "please go upvote or leave your comments here:" with a link to HN?
Anyone in your "network" who sincerely wants to help would give you the simple advice I'm going to give you: grow up. This post and all of your replies here are cringey and immature, and don't bode well for your employability no matter how smart you are (or think you are).

#48I'm so confused by what I just read. What was the point of that? Why is this on hn? It's incoherent and almost manic; I'm a bit worried the author might be experiencing some kind of mental health crisis.
