Blog2021 ≫ I heard they are furloughing engineers at my old work again

A real shame for them. One I worked closest with is down to 40% pay (and 40% hours of course) man alive that must be hard. If I'd stayed there I'd be on a fraction of what I'm earning right now.

Slack went down today1, they rely on Slack heavily at the old place. I do use it for chatting with my friends, but hadn't noticed it had gone down until one of them texted me. I quite like the idea of using texts again. It seems to be back now.

My burgeoning share portfolio is not doing well, unsurprisingly. Probably the small portion of a Tesla share is propping the rest of it up. Maybe it was too early to buy airline shares...
