So you learn that the original price was < 633$. It hurts 🥺

Just only do it at night with your curtains closed and you’ll be good

Practically nothing. It wasn't the first iPod, I doubt it's mint and I expect it's not still sealed in its original box.

Meanwhile, the US’ strategy is trying to bludgeon its own tech companies to death and slam them in the media. Seems like a winning approach in conjunction with this.

Yeah, no refreshes would be rough. Honestly, you couldn't have paid me to work for Amazon in the first place because they're so renowned for how poorly they treat people. I do know that a lot of people in my field went there because they've been paying significantly above market for the last couple of years; spectacular comp is the only reason to work for an outfit like that. If RSUs are cratering and you're not issuing refreshes, you're going to lose tons of people. Then again, I'm sure that's what management wants.

No seriously let us know what they say I’m curious.

I don’t think that’s accurate. He said he thinks he has one.

Eh. I’m EE adjacent, but have run into some young people who do need to be corrected when they want to run a ~100MHz digital signal across a bread board.

People should have rough, order-of-magnitude, notions of when the magic and the deep-magic start.

That said, the top poster may have some confidence issues that caused them to boast on a random message board.

Pretending the dangers of authoritarianism we’ve seen recently somehow equals the historical INSTANT fall into dictatorships we’ve seen out of any planned economic states ie “communist” ones

So stupid, how much can I get for a 64gb ipod around the same year, or any other old defunct tech?

They can't stop me from licking all of them, too.

That's the gamble, you make less money this year and hope for a refresh, then in two years if you're still there you could get a big payout (assuming you don't get PIP'd and there aren't more layoffs in the meantime).

I've heard there are basically no raises/refreshes this year though because of the layoffs, hiring freeze, and other cost cutting... so it may just be an extra rough year to justify staying at Amazon

Oh happy days! That actually makes the cliff a bit more manageable for me. I really don't like applying for jobs and so have been dreading it.

Sure, but as a worker you'll also get an RSU refresh this year at a lower price. When the stock goes up, you'll make a ton more, and I'm sure there won't be articles about the huge raises everyone is getting. This is just part of the game with RSU based comp.

So now they want you to pay them to steal your privacy, of course there are enough fools to comply.

I'm fairly certain the vest is every 6 months after year 2, so you get a 20% initial grant vest at years 2.5, 3, 3.5, and 4

There are no actual demands for infinite growth. I don’t know why Reddit made this its new strawman that it can’t stop parroting.

If FB shares become priced at the same PE ratio as your local utilities company, nobody will expect the company to grow. The only “issue”, if you can even call it that, is that they’re significantly more expensive because growth is still expected.

When FB’s growth expectations drop to zero, nobody will pay the current share price or expect any growth. If this sounds too fanciful for you, your boring-ass local utilities company was hot shit too at one point, assuming it is old enough.

More like it signals the end of their products.

You can bottle your own water, and nobody can stop you!

>How about the owners think of them as employees

But they are owners, they should think like one too because they chose to take compensation in form of RSUs. Plenty of opportunity for them to make a high base salary where they can think like "employees". These people are high income earners, they were loving the RSU pay structure beforehand.

This must be a really hot take after five rounds of beer pong and three joints. I felt my fedora tip just from the photons emitted by the screen. What happened to this site LMFAO.

Awesome, I have a robotics class and I was hoping when I was done with my final project that I'd print my own pcb and finalize it into something more permanent
