    Yeah, my company is chasing an IPO and so is slashing wages. People are leaving in droves, but since it makes number go up…

    No care whatsoever about post IPO. It’s going to be awful.

        IPO: initial public offering. Means when a private business goes public (and is therefore able to be traded on the stock market). The CEO loses a lot of their stock during the process, so it’s in the CEO’s best interest to rugpull as hard as possible during an IPO so that they can cash out.

        I have an interview next week, I can’t risk it just yet. Plus it’s mostly internal speculation as nothing but the salary reductions have been announced.
