yes it is. everywhere everything all at once as the movie says hahaha oh and esp for asian americans #metoo

If you're having a manic episode or other type of mental breakdown, I hope you get help. If this is just how you typically act, and no one has told you yet, your way of communicating is bizarre and deeply off-putting. You will not be able to keep a job.

great perfect. yes. it's been years. nobody hired me. so i built my company. thanks.

as the post says, i financially cannot afford to leave (personal philosophy is to have net worth go up at all times) thanks for the curiosity - i believe curiosity leads all SF dwellers to great success and wealth over time. never stop asking questions. in public.

That's quite a "philosophy."

fde :)

why did you comment? and read all of it?

I commented because I'm not sure if you have considered that you might not be well. I hope you look after yourself. What you are doing right now, including posting all these responses to comments here, does not seem healthy.

thank you for your concern. i will file it with the appropriate healthcare authorities. specifically my girlfriend who is reading your comment with me right now haha

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 of action at this point is deleting the blog post. Note that the separation agreement you signed prohibits you from sharing any Separation Information—including consideration (in this case the $20K figure you reference is part of the consideration). Your blog post is public evidence and even this comment I'm making right now could end up in discovery if your former employer wanted. If I were you, I would not antagonize them further.

and since it’s mentioned in the post, it feels fair game to call it out: Andy has revised his experience up over the years, from working at Scale to running support at scale to founding a team at Scale… he was an early employee who did some customer support. Presumably Simple got caught up in Andy’s impressive revisionism.
