An intern asks their manager why they haven't been paid. The manager says the product launch flopped, investors pulled out, and payroll got paused. The intern responds with sarcasm about the company being bankrupt and corporate speak about "pivoting to strategic debt maximization."
Also, I didn't receive my paycheck for this month. Is everything alright with that?
Yeah, about that, we're gonna have to put a quick pause on that, okay?
Pause on, like, my paycheck? What do you mean by that?
So, our launch didn't go as well as we planned, so a lot of our investors got cold feet.
Yeah, a lot meaning all of them? So, so we're bankrupt? Is that what you're saying? We prefer the term pivoting to strategic debt maximization.
