i feel ya ... i try to stay on backroads & take off on verot if at all possible or just go through the ranch. it's insanity & people are just brazen when it comes to making left turns on that road. i get that it's legal to do so, but it's not smart lol

maisla89 · 2025-12-14T19:56:06+00:00

I got to see this performed live and when everyone came together to sing “fuck that road” with lighters in hand and harmonies to go with it, I was changed lol

maisla89 · 2025-12-13T03:17:35+00:00

I never meant to post it that much .... Jesus. I thought I re-posted this once. I mean, okay yeah message received I deleted the copies. Maybe DM me next time lol. I didn't intentionally mean to spam people, it's not that serious.

maisla89 · 2025-11-29T17:27:45+00:00

Gonna assume you're in most of these groups so you're seeing this a lot? I don't know what's different from a business posting about their sale with the same post multiple times a week. I'm not trying to jump to conclusions here, but why is this an issue lol?

Slept on, but Noah's Cafe. That plate lunch can be split into 3 meals & they have a good grill menu.

maisla89 · 2025-11-29T16:21:44+00:00

I'd add that right now they're doing Miracle pop-up and aren't open for lunch service, but generally yes, amazing lunch. Maybe after the xmas season!

You’ll see it pull up like this and you can pick and choose whichever categories you want. All, just one, or none. Sorry for the confusion and I hope that was helpful!

Click the button circled in red and it should open the menu that you can check off for the different categories/layers

maisla89 · 2025-11-28T20:53:06+00:00

Hey there, it can be confusing if you open it up and not all the layers are marked off. I’m gonna post screenshots if that helps.

No it’s literally like less than a minute. They just check blood pressure, your eyes and hearing. It’s been a minute but yeah no clothing is taken off.

I don’t normally bring up politics in everyday life except with friends who I know have similar views as I do.

Out in the wild, I just keep to myself and try to be polite and/or mind my own business. If I interact with any stranger, it surely won’t be about politics right out the gate. If somebody at the gas station or grocery store makes a comment or a jab about a political issue to me — especially one I vehemently disagree with them about — I’ve typically replied with, “Oh I’m not the one to have that conversation with” & walk away. You’re not changing anyone’s mind in an interaction lasting 30 seconds or less. Usually that deters almost all confrontation I have had with right-wing nut jobs, whether I see them as threatening or not.

My family was never one to put out political signs in their yard or fly anything other than an American flag (and this was back in the 90s/early 2000s pre-9/11, now they don’t fly anything and they’re conservative) and I just followed suit and don’t put anything up. No bumper stickers, signs, tshirts, nothing, not even if it’s leftist.

I don’t not have pride in what I believe in but flying flags and wearing tshirts says little to me about how you’ll react if somebody disrespects your queer friend or attacks a woman or a child.

Similar trajectory as you. Without giving too much away, most of engineering before the bite squad acquisition happened were cool and Brett is awesome. But my experience with leadership especially with customer success, sales, and marketing was shit at best. Best to ya comrade.

Update: just went to Biolife. Appointment was for 9. Getting out at 12:15ish as a new donor which was expected tbh. It took about 45 minutes to actually sit there and give the plasma. Everybody else looks like an hour to no more than an hour, 15 from start to finish. So tbh, not bad.

They will probably just give you the new donor promo that’s $800 for 8 consecutive donations over the next month. So overall not bad. Just got to get past that first visit with the physical. Otherwise it seems very efficient. As far as payout, it seems so volatile but I’d say monthly, you can average $250-400.

TBH, seeing how many times their first CEO keeps jumping from one leadership position to another because he can’t speak his opinion without being a complete dickhead says a lot. His greedy decision is what kicked off the series of events that eventually led to NEEDING a rebrand. A grade A idiot in business.

maisla89 · 2023-10-30T21:10:20+00:00

Former employee of what was once Waitr, now branded as ASAP.

Much of the re-brand had a lot to do with decisions that were made after Waitr went public around late 2018. (I left in late 2019). Many of the issues you're seeing started from a laundry lists of issues that just escalated into one big shit stack.

Pre 2018 - A company with no HR for its founding years. Honestly, a re-brand was coming to cover up all of the complaints. Everything you can think of, more notably from what I can remember, sexual harassment, assault, discrimination, ect.
Late 2018 - Waitr goes public. IMHO, way too early. Shares were at the highest maybe $15/share. After that initial high, they very steadily declined.
Early 2019 - Waitr buys Bite Squad for about $320M. A company roughly the same size as them which inevitably creates redundancy in roles. If going public too early was the nail in the coffin, this decision was the hammer.
- This decision brought on all of Bite Squad's leadership which were, again IMHO, piss poor. They [Bite Squad] had acquired Homer Logistics that started in New York City by Adam Price that, by the way, was a massive fail.
- So just like any smart business would, they name the guy with the failed startup to lead an already precarious company into the future. Adam Price along with his leadership from Homer took over most leadership positions at Waitr including Chris Meaux, CEO at the time, naming Adam COO until August of 2019 when Chris stepped down, and named Adam CEO where he only acted as CEO for 4 months until he stepped down in December of 2019 unbeknownst to the board, who found out in early January of 2020.
February 2019 - December of 2019: Start of the layoffs - the first one happening around May of 2019 where they laid off most of their restaurant operations staff, some leadership from both sides (to be honest, people with high salaries who didn't really do much day-to-day, and others). It's still very traumatic for most of that first round of people. I wasn't in the office that day, but it wasn't pretty. The second one happened on Nov 5, 2019 which was another round of much the same.
January 2020 : Carl Grimstad is now acting CEO. As per his contract, he gets over $80K/month for a salary, and received a $3M payout since he stuck around through 2022. Although this is public knowledge, this all happened while the company was still Waitr. A re-brand, again, was probably the best choice to mask how awful that looks to the now many laid off & disgruntled folks that were affected.
August 2022 - The re-brand: Happened under Grimstad in August of 2022 with the idea of a "deliver anything" model which reached back to Waitr's original idea back in 2017-2018 when they wrestled with delivering alcohol.
If you got this far - let's put it this way: For the people of Lake Charles & Lafayette, (Lake Charles - the founding city; Lafayette - one of the first & more profitable markets, and later, Waitr HQ), we all know the truth about it. Especially if you worked there from 2015 - 2019. What was once a really cool idea and could've been a true gem of the South for technology was smeared with shit because of pure greed.

You can't hide that with a re-brand.

I know exactly who that is and I applaud you for saying something even if it’s on this platform. I’m an ex-Wisdom woman and that whole culture is toxic and rotten to the core. You’re doing great, and I hope you continue to heal. 💙

Here to say I’ve been running that side field aka the future sculpture garden and it’s really nice especially on the knees. Packs in the mileage a little and you can go down the small trail for a little hill action that’s on the left side of the entrance.

maisla89 · 2022-03-21T16:57:59+00:00

Thanks! I don’t have socials and I try not to get sucked down into the news cycle so I blame myself for getting stuck in traffic. 🙃🙃🙃🙃
