Happened around 2021-10-15:

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said that his administration is pursuing the prosecution of a local newspaper reporter who alerted the government to website security flaws.

It's in the following sources, at least: TechCrunch, NPR, NY Times

I remember hearing about this, so I tried searching for someone "being charged after reporting personal data exposed on a website"

Turns out, it's Missouri, 2019, or another article on the same topic

It's like banning swiss army knives

That's why we went forth and banned everything swiss, army, or knive, altogether

In my home country there are minorities, as I would guess in most other countries, and they quite often are told to go back to where they came from, despite literally being native to the country 🤦‍♂️

Now that would be top notch irony. A very sad one, too

I wonder if that depends on the jurisdiction, but I'll ask if that's possible

I would say that the thing that makes me want to downvote that comment the most is the part where you get stocks/options "if that's what you want".

It's not like every company would offer you that and even if they do promise they might not do that

Our team has joined a big company and we were promised stocks but sure enough they said "we usually don't do that so we don't have a contract for such a case". Our manager almost made them hold their word a year after we joined, then he got fired and sure enough we got nothing. Well, at least the other conditions were not too bad and then the team split and everyone went their own way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're kinda right but is there really a way to tell if someone who's buying your business is going to do good or bad (except when selling to M$)?

I heard 9^th of February is world pizza day, so… makes total sense

Don't know anything about their case, but an acquaintance of mine works for a company that got bought and their vests just evaporated the moment the company changed hands ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's true, but if you had some 5–10% of co-workers so toxic that everyone was relieved to have them fired, things do look grim for your company in terms of morale
