Worse than than, 10$ gift card
- lawn 2y agoI heard it had been withdrawn?
- metadat 2y agoCrowdStrike offers a $10 apology gift card to say sorry for outage - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41058261 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41058261 (129 comments) According to the discussion in the thread, you're correct. Also, it was a $10 giftcard for .. uber eats. Where you can't get anything for less than ten bucks.
- lawn 2y agoThat's truly some dark comedy.
- rqtwteye 2y agoThese are deeply insulting. My company sometimes sends out $10 cards for DoorDash. To actually get something I would have to add at least another $10 myself. I wonder if Uber Eats and DoorDash give these out for free to companies as promotion. I bet most people who use the cards spend another $20 or more.

- dylan604 2y agoI guess it's easier to buy X number of gift cards and allow that company to deal with the individuals rather than paying each customer $10 individually. Also, does the IT manager get that giftcard? Do they share it with the rest of the team? Does the CTO get the card and shares it with the rest of the C-suite. What's the proper way of handling that other than reject with a harsh laugh in their face at the offer?
