I don’t want to pile on or anything, because it seems like you’re engaging in good faith, but I don’t understand the quickness to say “I don’t think this should be discussed at work” if you don’t even know the basics. Why is the default po

I'll never trust them with another dollar of my money after what happened last year. Letting people buy options and then turning off the ability to sell them to anyone else on the platform.

Never really trusted him. Too self-aggrandizing. I’m sure there are a lot of business owners who pay their employees well and don’t feel the need to consume every atom of oxygen letting everyone know how great they are for doing so.

Thanks. I initially thought “what’s the point” but didn’t have anything better to do.
