Business Outlook
Pros
Guaranteed burnout Probably more layoffs (target is another 50% of tech budget)
Cons
In 2023, Curative reduced salaries across the board and made up for the lost cash in stock. In 2026, Curative laid off a bunch of employees, and if you chose to accept the severance package, they are sending "call right" letters clawing back all of the stock they have ever given you, even from the COVID-19 days. Extremely scummy behavior. Can't believe management ever had any of our trust.
