When "shit happens" and you're responsible (as SoundCloud is here), you sure should try to compensate for the trouble (big trouble in this case as he left a job and moved to another city just for the job). Here they just said 'sorry' and left him hanging. They clearly still have money and should have paid him, IMO, at least some compensation. I'm not sure how do you justify advocating for them. They totally deserve being thrown under the bus and the blog post barely did it. It just stated the facts.
- hardwaresofton 9y agoIt's not that I'm advocating for them -- I do believe he should be compensated for the position, within the bounds of the contract (as others have mentioned I think the required notice period is a good thing to go by at least, and obviously some more because of the relocation) -- but this kind of blog post should come AFTER you've written your grievances in writing, and what you feel you should be compensated, and they've blown you off, not before. There's so much of the conversation left out -- I'm not ready to grab my pitchfork yet until I know SoundCloud is actively trying hard not to compensate this person (and the CTO is not just a dummy).
