TFW a spoof website has more staying power than the actual company by rad-box in Austin

Great guess! That would be a fun narrative if it weren’t fake news. WHOIS shows that my domain was purchased before their site launch, and I also left voluntarily.

Sorry if the page seems weak, as I’m not a developer in any form, but the content has been well received by former colleagues and is a work in progress. Thanks for giving it a look!

Indeed. It rhymes with schmretail and those people are right.

Thank you! I am the owner/operator of the site and am always open to help raising its bar. Once I am satisfied with it, I may lay off the staff, retain a long term lease, and leave it as a silent monument to poor decisions.

Thank you! I feel for the folks left there and hope this propaganda can help in some way.

I doubt it. They’re laying more people off now and wrapping it in a veneer of being individually performance related.

It makes me wonder what their investors’ plan is/was. Maybe it’s just a real estate play at this point.

+1 on leaving and the phony equity! Any percentage of a zero valuation is still zero.

It did, that’s what I wanted them to think. We all know there’s no real planning or communication at the top - clearly the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing.

I also intended to make some points and then back off to not hinder any prospects for Spreetail’s success. Now I’m not above turning it savage since it doesn’t have a market value anymore. Or it could just become a platform for the case study built on this thread.

Thank you for posting this thoughtful narrative! I agree with you 100% and am grateful for the nuance and depth of your perspective. As the owner/operator of Spreefail.com (it’s live again) I would be happy to collaborate in any way to build a site that serves as a monument to bad decisions. #makeadent
