  1. > $30,000 or six months of salary, whichever was higher.

    I really hope they weren’t paying anyone in Silicon Valley $60k/yr. That living in a box in an alley money.

    > In the blog post, Mullenweg wrote that of the 8.4% of the company who quit, 18 pulled in more than $200,000 salaries; their pre-tax severance checks will clear $100,000.

    That sounds better.

  2. I don’t care whatever comes out of it. Everything in that story is batshit insane.
