So I’m getting fired from Roam Research (which is fine) while being owed $70K in compensation (not fine). Some of it goes as far back as 2021!

I guess rumors are true, don’t work there, don’t trust them to keep their word, or take 100% payment up front.

Re: legal actions etc.

Technically I got everything I’m owed due to contract, so no shot here. Extra $70K were only promised in email.

And now CEO says “I’m delusional to think it was ever in the picture”, in answer to the literal picture of an email _from him_.

@nikitonsky I’m sorry to hear that, Niki. Sucks when relationships go this way. I hope you’re holding up okay.
@jcf thanks! yeah, I’m fine though, feeling some sort of relief actually, and looking forward for what’s to come

@nikitonsky I've had that same sense of relief when escaping a stressful situation. You feel a palpable weight lifted, and suddenly, possibilities present themselves.

It's a shame we never got to work together. I've been a fan of your no-nonsense approach to building awesome shit for a long time.

If I’m ever hiring at a startup cutting Clojure, you'll be top of my list of collaborators, Niki!

@jcf Thanks!
