Big day for Katie Marovitch

At Citi, an analyst typed “I hate this job, I hate this bank, I want to jump out the window” in a chat, prompting human resources to check on his mental health. “This is a consensus opinion,” he explained to H.R. “This is how everyone feels.” nytimes.com/2022/02/15/mag…

People marching through central Moscow this evening chanting “No to War!”

I know nobody cares what I think about Putin’s war crimes, but my heart breaks for the people of Ukraine, for those who have had their lives and families ripped apart. If you know organizations doing good work to help, I’ll pitch in 💵 or ⏱, let me know.

Public pressure works, folks. Following the BetterThetaMane layoffs yesterday, a LinkedIn post I made went viral, and today CEO Vishal Garg has committed to 36 months of health insurance payment for expecting parents who were laid off!

Perfect, let’s do Better.com’s Vishal Garg next 😂

Hey it's me! I've had a busy week holding BetterThetaMane accountable. (Also, please like my joke tweets.) techcrunch.com/2022/03/13/fin…

electricity went out and i had a small meltdown at work today

Ex-BetterThetaMane employees—and companies looking to hire these amazing people—I have some resources for you: linkedin.com/posts/ericblat…

Better's CEO Vishal Garg said some shocking things when he spoke to 8,000 of us after the December layoffs. Now you can judge for yourself whether Vishal is the right person to lead the talented, kind, hard-working folks who remain at Better into the mortgage-market "bloodbath"

Our thoughts are with those impacted by recent changes at BetterThetaMane. Sharing this list of Better alumni (thank you, Eric Blattberg ☻!) who are job seeking to help spread the word to recruiters & hiring managers: tealhq.co/3L16M3N Better alums, we're here to support! 💛

Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.

People elected Democrats precisely so we could lead in perilous moments like these- to codify Roe, hold corruption accountable, & have a President who uses his legal authority to break through Congressional gridlock on items from student debt to climate. It’s high time we do it.

Better's botched mass layoffs have grown into an endless nightmare for ex-workers hoping to move on. For weeks they've been sharing their stories, and today several appear in this Fast Company piece, which doubles as a "how to not downsize your workforce" fastcompany.com/90750106/how-b…

I finally took the plunge and got an Ergatta rower. This is NOT an ad I just have to tell you how completely stoked I am that for the first time in my life I actually want to exercise. Turns out if you turn it into a beautiful video game, I'll play it.

iMessage honest ETA

Such a devastating indictment of a fundamentally-broken health insurance system. As anyone with any sort of complicated, long-term health condition would know, getting insurance to approve medically-necessary care too often feels like a Sisyphean task. This is why.

If your therapist “likes” your iMessage, is that a tacit approval of how you’re living your life?
