I think the solution here is to choose values that are not conditional on what people think of you or what you’ve done. Then, when you apologize, you’re never doing it to seek forgiveness. Apologies are simply an expression of regret that

I'm not sure if you're open to feedback, but based on what I'm hearing I would take the following actions if I were in your shoes: 1) Look into transitional housing facilities or permanent supportive housing programs near you

We're broaching many new ideas now, many of which I agree with. I agree that employers have an obligation to communicate in crystal clear terms what equity in the company means. I also agree wealth inequality endangers the stability

Good point. The ideal scenario sounds like big tech making a permanent shift towards remote work while startup founders continue to amass in the valley.

Everyone's talking about how the founder got lucky that his investors let go of their $800K liquid preference. My guess is that this wasn't all luck. The VC's in this case knew how transparent this founder was being in report
