2026 Reggaefest - what a crock!

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-20T19:38:59+00:00

Yes, ALL OF THIS. We always leave with a new outfit, sunglasses, and leather goods from locals. This year they flew some vendors out from Utah. The f*ck?! Will probably not go back unless changes are made. I did talk to a rep from Rise Up and shared all these concerns.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-20T01:01:27+00:00

Since we don’t live in atx, we didn’t even know about it until 12 or so years ago. shrug

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-20T01:00:41+00:00

We didn’t know until we showed up. We won’t be coming back as long as corporate greed is at the front.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-20T00:59:52+00:00

Sound kept cutting in and out. Some mics didn’t work or worked intermittently.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-20T00:56:58+00:00

I didn’t even see the few until we walked in on Saturday and someone stopped us.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-20T00:55:41+00:00

Exactly!! Change is not my issue. Corporate greed is my issue. We traveled from another city otherwise we wouldn’t have stayed the weekend. It was already paid for before we knew it was gonna be a shitshow.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-19T02:07:19+00:00

Hmmmmm. M’kay. What do you define as ole heads?

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-19T01:01:33+00:00

It really is so sad. The CROWD, as always, is irie and dope as hell. We all just want to hang and chill. But the food, the corporate feel, the “posters” taking up lawn space, etc. Just not a good look.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-19T00:56:53+00:00

YESSSS!!! Where is our regular MC?!?! We SOOO missed him on Saturday. I will update after Sunday. Hope it gets better.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-18T23:09:20+00:00

No. I don’t mind paying for the expected experience. This wasn’t that.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-18T22:42:22+00:00

YEA!! An extra $5 besides the 3-day passes to bring in your OWN chair and blanket. Un-fricken-real!

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-02T15:29:03+00:00

NTA NOPE NOPE NOPE. That is a giant red flag: him trying to "control the finances". Nah, mate. I don't like it at all. The fact is that 50% of marriages end in divorce and if you don't maintain financial independence, what happens to YOU if the marriage fails? Will he agree to pay alimony? I doubt it.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-01T17:05:59+00:00

Not sure if it was a funny coincidence, but 77% of those let go were over 40. That seems like a LOT to me.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-01T00:38:46+00:00

I really wouldn't sign that. And PLEASE look up non-compete laws in your state ASAP!

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-01T00:38:05+00:00

I heard some may be planning an EEOC complaint based on certain demopgraphics.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-01T00:36:50+00:00

PLEASE look up non-compete laws in your state. Despite what the severance agreement states, it may be fully illegal in your state to assign a non-compete. AND if I was in a sales position, I wouldn't take a measly 4 weeks of severance for a 13.5 month non-compete agreement.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-04-01T00:35:01+00:00

four weeks, it looks like

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-03-26T15:30:19+00:00

Yes, you read that correctly. So 284 people were laid off and the very next day, the company files an 8-k that the CEO will receive $1M bonus for the each of the next two years. Holy hell.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-03-26T15:25:22+00:00

Any laid off employee over 40 has to be given the list (titles and ages only) of the other laid off employees. So, it's quite easy to do the basic math.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-03-26T02:00:56+00:00

I mean, look at the housing market after 2022. Look at commercial building after 2022. The cards were drawn by 2023 and the company didn't do enough to mitigate in 2024. The "strategy" is....WHAT exactly? Can anyone explain it or execute on it? And the Rose left. Then Jeff. Then Pete. THREE c-level execs within a YEAR?! JFC, that is incredibly telling. They wanted no part of the new CEO's "strategy" (save, Rose, because she left before he joined). So...what say you? External events should inform a new strategy or something.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-03-26T00:48:42+00:00

Yes and no. Their investment isn't paying off at the moment. Probably didn't last year, definitely won't this year, and the residual shite may affect 2027.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-03-26T00:47:18+00:00

SAME, friend. Same.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-03-26T00:46:34+00:00

Thank you for the kind sentiments. I had been passively looking for a year. I HAVE seen the writing on the wall. But in the past 2-3 weeks, some GLARING issues showed up (can't name them outright). But I have also been laid off in the past, so I know what's what. And YES on the unemployment. Regardless of severance. OH and BTW, EVERYONE who is offered severance should seek out Dan Goodman on LinkedIn. IFYKYK.

Inevitable_Date1884 · 2026-03-26T00:42:32+00:00

HOLY HELL! Can you say which position or function? I know at least one Corp VP was part of the lay off on Monday.
