It's possible (although unlikely) that this _is_ a suspension.
"Tell the DDoS clowns that she's no longer employed there, they move on, after the Internet recovers from its non-linear response to this whole situation, reinstate her with a profuse apology to everyone."
I'm not sure that's better than just muscling through the DDoS, but when you can't deliver service to your customers, some folks get creative.

- masklinn 14y agoI'm pretty sure the most professional behavior right now as far as SendGrid was concerned was being able to do their job and provide their service to their customers at all. And I can neither fully agree nor disagree: there are people specialized in handling and diverting DDOS, but they cost money and they take time, during which customers relying on SendGrid get no service and get frustrated.
