Miso pays disputed $10k referral bonus to ex-engineer, apologizes
I'm not sure that the 10k was worth it for J Wu. Employers Google potential employees, and this blog post will definitely show up. Even though I feel he's in the right this type of public shaming would make me think twice about hiring him. Just doesn't seem like it's worth the hassle even  though I don't plan on doing anything terrible to my employees (criminal in this case!)To be clear, I feel that Miso is in the wrong on this. Just probably wasn't worth 10k on calling them out.EDIT: From the comments it feels like the consensus is either a public shaming or hiding and forgetting about the money. There are other avenues like trying to pressure VC / board members, court, probably more. I wouldn't want this accessible on the internet for the next 50+ years.
