Translated this from LinkedIn Speak to English:

I guilt-tripped my dad into buying a $1,000 knife set from my high school pyramid scheme back in 2005.

He let them rot in a drawer for two decades because he obviously didn’t want them. Now I’ve inherited them in Florida, which is the only way I was ever going to get any value out of that scam.

I was 17 and predatory enough to close a pity sale on my own father for Vector Marketing. To everyone who correctly points out that Cutco is a joke: the knives actually haven’t fallen apart yet, which is more than I can say for my dignity at the time.

Your first shitty sales job was probably a humiliating waste of time, but if you wait twenty years, you can try to spin it into a deep life lesson for engagement.

Edit: just looked closer and noticed that this is almost entirely the executive team. Duh. Obviously execs are overpaid as hell but for the size of Signal and the average exec pay this is hardly surprising

Tbh I’d much rather the money go to the employees than to shady stakeholders/investors

I feel like the takeaway here is that this is how much people SHOULD be getting paid and most of the time the rest is getting siphoned off by the capital class

I never directly compared the numbers, I just recognized that the URL formatting is the same. Particularly:

[Regular URL]?si=64836474738292974

is appended at the end of both.
