When a Unicorn Startup Stumbles, Its Employees Get Hurt
Is there some other industry where, when a company stumbles, its employees don&#x27;t get hurt? I live in Michigan, and when the car industry &quot;stumbled&quot; everyone I locally know at least knew someone who got hit, at the <i>very very</i> least with long-term stagnant wages even as their responsibilities amped up to cover the missing people, and they were the ones who came out relatively unscathed.<p>I mean, the details of the article are all fine and dandy and interesting (no sarcasm, there&#x27;s nothing wrong with the facts and they&#x27;re at least worth a story), but the headline and framing seem to imply that there&#x27;s some sort of alternative?<p>The only problem unique to the tech-unicorns here is exercising stock options when you can&#x27;t pay for the taxes. Don&#x27;t do that.
