    They got a vacation month right? Right?

    (Later in the article it was mentioned that even the 1k per month wasn’t paid).

    “Over the 8 months she was there Alice claims she received no salary for the first 5 months, then (roughly) $1k/month salary for 2 months, and then after she quit she received a ~$6k one-off salary payment (from the funds allocated for her incubated organization). She also had a substantial number of emergency health issues covered. [there is a footnote here mentioning there was no contract which … anyway poor quokkas (yes im stealing that concept from the fascists, suck it nerdiest lovecraft cosplayer)]”

    Also TIL that the custom ‘we should be rational and clear and bla bla bla bla’ software ran by the LWosphere doesn’t allow people to see that and how a post was edited. Bit weird.
