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_.

Re: why dragging this to public? Because I don’t want the same to happen to anybody else. I don’t like doing it, I stress about it as fuck, I prefer—and tried, multiple times—to solve it quietly. This is the very, very last resort.

It’s 2023, US and Europe are the centers of civilized world, and nobody should be fighting for the money they were promised in plain English. It’s not even I thought/he thought situation! It’s all in writing! I’ve had enough of that bullshit in early 2000-s in Russia.
