  • The IT startup I worked at went from providing free food, snacks and beverages to bringing in management consultants clocking hundreds of dollars per hour and finally investing in tonnes of household chemicals while they couldn’t afford to pay our wages. I think they went through bankruptcy at least three times while I worked there, before the former CEO and CTO fled the country.

    Edit: The VC’s were in cahoots with the management consultants. No idea if they were involved with the household chemicals. The fools who invested in the IPOs however were fucked over twice.






  • I don’t brake check people, but I do flash my brake lights a few times if someone is tailgating me. That generally makes people realise “oops, sorry, I was too close”. If they ignore that I slowly turn the cruise control down until they’d rather switch lanes and zip off. Funny how I’m only tailgated when there is plenty of space in the passing lane to the left of me.

    The brake checks that the assholes do are when they actually brake to have near-collision vicinity to trigger collision warnings/autobrakes on trucks and busses, or to really rile another car driver up/collect insurance. But they forget that many people nowadays have dashcams (thank you Russian insurance companies!).
