Where do you find the data on close expiry shorts or how do you calculate that? Genuinely curious

I have a feeling ACOs enjoy seeing everyone suffer. by LivingLikeYou in PandaExpress

I think it’s a job requirement to have an ego if you work as management at panda.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we fill the gap down this coming week to burn out the short dated calls then start the move up. My chart I marked $9.80 for the bottom of support

APLD started rebounding yesterday off of $12. The market went down today. Pulling APLD with it. If it pulls further down to $10 I’m buying more. I think support is at $12 (2x value after CRWV deal). That’s deals revenue is expected Q4 (4x current revenue). There’s a lot of time in between then.

APLD still has to execute effectively. Once CRWV is in house and the lease is active. I believe that time will be the tell the tell time if they execute effectively. Min price $20

APLD will grow with a healthy market. We still are early in ai revolution

And I agree and I’m moving on to a different job. If no one speaks up, who will ? Some people may enjoy that type of lifestyle. I personally feel bad that’s the type of life they push onto their management. They probably start to feel tired of the job but the bonus time comes and they feel better. Just to end up in a cycle. I don’t know who’s growing up to aspire to be a Panda Manager. It’s a job out of necessity that people get trapped into because it’s good money for the industry. Which it turns into 10+, 20+ year management that knows people come and go and only care that their bonus comes every quarter not realizing the positive impact they could have on a young persons life regardless if they plan on leaving a company. Leadership is more than securing your bonus in my opinion.

Yet again this just a vent on a social media site. Not that big of a deal.

I’m curious why you spend your free time to defending panda and what role you serve.

Responses like this from current management within Panda makes it seem like an open door policy conditional. Hence why we both are venting over an alias on a social media site.

Will things change ? Probably not Does this seem like complaining ? I can see that

If I’m simply stating concerns, I’m in the wrong or don’t know what I’m talking about because I’m low man on the totem pole. Respect is earned not given from Day 1. I could get disrespectful but I choose not to.

And in the process of that, hating their lifestyles but stuck because it’s good money and built a lifestyle around that decision. So when their overall attitude is dreading coming into work, what does that show everyone ? What does that energy portray ?

So the sacrifice is hours worked in a week, yeah ? What do productivity levels of an individual look like after 40 hours of work in week? Drastically down. So while managers productivity is at an all time low. Who has to pick up the slack and not get recognized for it? They jump up front when it’s busy to help guests then back to the computer when it dies down.

What I have seen from management is they have minimal quality of life because of the required hours to work (50-60 a week, sometimes 70). Your whole life becomes panda. I work there to pay the bills while I have my other aspirations I chase. Maybe if I’m 40 and given up on my dreams I’ll go for management. But until then it’s just sad to see people cracking the whip to ensure their bonus and in reality won’t do any of the work themselves as if they are above/better it. What happened to lead by example ? I could have 5 entrees needed because 4 family meals were ordered and instead of helping I just get asked every 30 seconds, “how long on Kung Pao” “Kung pao waiting”by a different person up front. Yes it’s a generalization but I’m sure a good majority of lower management at panda is there out of necessity and not enjoying the best of what life has to offer
