Going Long and Hard.

The ones that got canned were on Salary. The Ambassador Program that replaced it is the traditional "bro use my code hook up"

And Hathaway, who not even one month ago shut the doors on Golden Saddle Cyclery in Los Angeles, was definitely counting on the $1,500/month that Specialized was paying him in 2022 as he transitioned to his next job.

I am just curios about what these people are actually pulling in. I guess the stated salary above supports living in a van by yourself

Same as they pay their Shop Mechanics 🤣
 
I have a dumb plan that includes an overnight with the Festive 500 distance. Will have to be a lightweight run as my Crux has no real bikepacking abilities.

$1500/mo won't even cover that, unless you own the van, and don't drive it, insure it, register it, or eat, or have any heat and just park it on your friend's property. That's some life yeahboyee.
 
“Nevertheless, Swallow, Hathaway, and Fassbinder all said they were shocked to be on the receiving end of such an abrupt change, especially given how long each of them had been with the company.“

This says a lot.
Im not shocked they are shocked.

The salient issue is how many time people can see themselves, dopamine rush as the likes climb, etc. Fragmented reality

Idk, sucks but to assume it can never happen is a vulnerable mindset. And of layoffs recorded in history, its probably small. Maybe they should think outside themselves.

How many of them looked into Dyson’s history? Zero. This is a great example where idealistic thinking crashed with the business end of things. 🤷🏼‍♂️

25%- the productive people were saved like yourself


3G Capital model. Lean em out

Dysons model is to come in, clean things up and suck the filth out of companies

Im looking for someone to blame and you just ruined it for me. Dyson is off the hook. I saw Nike in the article. Its their fault. No way Sinyard is holding that bag.

Sinyard's been microdosing shrooms for 50 years, he doesn't know what a Specialized is at this point 🤣
 
@jimvreeland what were your thoughts on the Blackborrow vs. a regular wheelbased fat bike?

I saw JP has his for sale at what I feel is a reasonable price. Down here in sand land it may be fun.
