oh the tech bubble finally imploding hell yeah that’s great. kind of sucks because a lot of us have either been directly or indirectly benefitting from the absurd money flowing in but this had to happen eventually. i’m glad these garbage startups with no actual model or use to society are finally going to be swept up the whole bank contagion part means there will probably a lot of collateral damage as well which isn’t as fun. though i guess in hindsight of course there would be collateral damage

I am genuinely curious if any of the senior decision makers at svb will face any actual consequences since basically the only people harmed by this were its investors and they're the ones with some pull

no, because if they start punishing each others for their gently caress ups that’s a slippery slope for them.

just to be clear, uninsured depositors are those depositors with more than 250k in their account which isn’t a lot for a corporation, but…

Beeftweeter posted:that doesn't matter. they are saying "everyone who deposits at SVB is fully insured up to any amount, which you will not get at another bank" "consequences" here is the potential for normally uninsured depositors to lose their money, and you seem to take issue with preventing that raminasi fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Mar 17, 2023 |

raminasi posted:then what are you objecting to? no. you said: raminasi posted:what should she do instead? if she says "everyone's insured" then bankers will do even more coke and gamble even more with depositor money. if she says "only these specific banks are insured" then it will trigger runs on all the other ones. "you might or might not be insured, if you don't wanna find out then don't gently caress around" doesn't seem like the worst middle ground. to which i showed you they are doing exactly that. you identified the problem all on your own: they are literally encouraging people to pull out the deposits in a volume that had already made one bank (their own) collapse

qirex posted:basically the only people harmed by this were its investors and they're the ones with some pull My wife’s employer had half their revenue from working with SVB. That’s about 70 families that are worried about paying their bills right now. Plus the several thousand employees of SVB who don’t know where their paychecks are coming from when their temporary employment ends. There is plenty of the usual kind of harm when a business goes belly up.

The FDIC is keeping some of their folks on as “essential contractors” but not everyone and they haven’t gotten any clarity about how long that will last. My wife has been working 14 hour days since this went down trying to find some other deals to plug the huge revenue hole. And all those SVB folks are getting paid right now, but the way this ends is for an acquisition to happen and that’s going to mean a big layoff. That’s why they’re getting paid so much.

CNBC reports that Google has decided to not honor pre-approved leave for laid-off employees. Some Googlers formed a group called "Laid off on Leave," which is attempting to get Google to honor its previously agreed-to timelines for employees going through major life changes. whoa, a large company not honoring its agreements?????

the normal state of affairs was to attempt your search query on all of your favorite search engines and your list of favorite search engines changed week to week google went from one of the search engines you use to the only search engine you use almost overnight

you can never have permanently good software, because if software is too good and too useful you end up paying the software peeps millions of bucks and they gently caress off and sip mai tais on a beach somewhere which is what happened to goog peeps 2000-2008.
