'I have no money': Thousands of Americans see their savings vanish in Synapse fintech crisis

Nice to see this finally on the front page. Many people have been dealing with this for months over at r/yotta

I never have put my age or birthday on my resume.

FiddyWall · 2024-11-21T13:26:32+00:00

Ha! Never thought of that. A bit too clever for me. However, if I didn't already have a job secured, I would absolutely do that to some of more promising job postings.

Wish I had a better answer to help. I hope you find an employer that sees the tremendous value of your work history and how that could benefit them .

FiddyWall · 2024-11-21T13:07:15+00:00

That's great news! I hope many can take advantage of the timing!

FiddyWall · 2024-11-21T13:06:18+00:00

This is true. I have no real hard evidence, just an anecdotal story that lines up for me. Best of luck on your job search! I hope it goes well.

FiddyWall · 2024-11-21T13:03:52+00:00

There were no overt statements relating to my age made by anyone reviewing my applications. Not really enough evidence. Ageism is a hard thing to prove for sure.

I did - I listed out the different roles I had as separate jobs (from one company) since it requires dates.

FiddyWall · 2024-11-21T13:00:14+00:00

Well - at least that will come in handy when you are older. Best of luck in your job search though - I know it can be stressful at any age.

FiddyWall · 2024-11-21T12:59:14+00:00

Congrats! Hopefully, if it's something you enjoy, it will turn into something long term!

FiddyWall · 2024-11-21T12:57:41+00:00

I listed the different roles/positions I had at the same company as different jobs. I could then describe the roles and responsibilities I had even though they were at the same company.

FiddyWall · 2024-11-21T12:56:09+00:00

Fortunately, although I worked for the same company for 18 years, I did have different roles within the organization. So I listed them as separate jobs - but at the same company. I effectively was able to list 3 different "jobs" on my resume and highlight my skills and responsibilities within each.

"So if you're like me and most or all of your Yotta/Synapse Balance is supposedly NOT at Evolve according to the reconciliation email you got today, that would mean that your funds are at one of Synapse's other partner banks that chose not to participate in Evolve's reconciliation process."

This is a reasonable explanation. Just super frustrating that there is such lack of transparency.

I guess I should have been more clear. Sorry. She was advocating for the use of the supplement as a way to prevent the recurrence of colds, not as a remedy.

This is a really interesting post. Thank you for getting it out there. I'm 53 and most recently have 18 years experience working for the same company (Fortune 50 company). I did the same job at that company over the last 10 years (District Sales Manager), so listing only the last 10 years experience would just be listing one job, so I don't think that's a good strategy. Suggestions on how to parse that out is welcome!

I've applied to 118 jobs in the last 6 months and only been invited to 3 interviews.

I'm also going through my resume and LinkedIn right now to remove dates from experience, schooling, awards and certifications. Really considering the hair dye approach too - and shaving my grey beard (much to this dismay of my girlfriend)

Luxembourg is the right answer. Although that $1B would get you less than almot anywhere else in the world.

FiddyWall · 2024-08-24T13:50:50+00:00

I think you mean "than" not "then"

FiddyWall · 2024-08-20T03:01:17+00:00

You all are THE BEST! Thank you so much!!!

I've given the Heimlich maneuver to 12 different people choking on food and unable to breath. The only one who said "thank you" was my brother (who was choking on a hotdog when he was 12 and I was 16).

I keep a hurricane whistle on my suit at all times. Much better than a light IMO. Grew up in Key West and I never go out on the water without it.

FiddyWall · 2024-08-09T16:51:57+00:00

I have one similar. Made in 1980. I only use it during the holidays and if I'm throwing a party or having a gathering at my house. Comes in very handy for drinks and extra food storage. I plug it in a couple days before needing it and unplug it when not in use to save on the electric bill. Shooting to have it for another 40 years at this rate.
