Well if you don’t use you own product, why would anyone else trust it?

KDF lmfao 😭

hannibal directive in effect 😔

KD tryna increase his KDR

tbf he also made these people’s lives with this Entertainment 720 company

Rich Kleiman fleecing my boy

I think maybe this the leak. I mean it’s fucked yo to burn them all over it. But my guess would be this is a disgruntled employee leaked those messages. KD going scorched earth on them bitches. Some Red wedding shit

Lot of assuming in here. Nowhere does it say this was KD’s decision.

ruined these people’s lives

Pretty sure the editorial staff knew it was coming when nobody knows their website, they were getting paid to write ghost stories for nobody to read. Any smart web journalist is working and applying for new jobs anyways at the same time.

You just creating fake outrage.

Idk about ruined. It’s rough but your valuable email contacts should already be hardwired into your head. Also LinkedIn exist. 

2 hours

I mean if they leaked his stuff then it’s kinda their fault?

To me , the last couple of weeks has confirmed my suspicion that despite being one of the greatest basketball players of all time , he’s wildly insecure

Things were simpler when he would just wax poetic about drinking ScarJo’s bathwater.

have been very Homelander_Stressed_Exhale.gif

Just use your words man

Never too late to revoke your fandom

What fuckin language is this

I was like a day one KD fan the second he linked up with this Rich Kleinman dude KD changed for the worst

I remember early in KD’s career he was like oh I wanna make sure my shoes are affordable and as close to $100 as possible

After he signed with Rich, he was like you know like I’m the MVP I can’t be having $100 shoes

And he just seems so focused on making money and proving he’s smarter than everyone

I felt a disturbance in the force when clips of him giving good answers in pressers kept getting posted and all the comments were ‘you know, nobody loves hooping as much as KD’. Something had to be coming down the pipe.

OOTL. What else?

You know what they say, “Never Tweet your heroes.”

Yeah but that wouldn’t allow him to shit on teammates and twitter teenagers

Just a random guess at what happened is he was suspicious someone at the company was involved in the leak and just fired everyone 🤷🏼‍♂️

Or more likely is that he monitors their email servers and it pings him anytime anyone references him and he saw them all talking shit about his burner

It says his net worth is 300 mil. Imagine that, 300 largesse, full time NBA player (one of the all time greats)… And you are obsessed with these kind of insecurities.

Don’t know man, but this is fuckin ridiculous.

So many things to do, things to contribute to make better. To enjoy life,.try to give something back by making this shithole a better place.

But no guy prefers twitter drama.

You can also lay people off and give them a few weeks to find other jobs. Knowing that’s a possibility I find this shit despicable. Just fuck over all your staff instead of doing it weeks ago and letting them land on their feet.

yeah the headline is trying to bait unemployed people

Places I used to work at were even more brutal. A security team sneaks up on you, taps you on the shoulder, and walks you out. You’re not allowed to say anything to anybody on the way out. Anything in your office will be mailed to you. Grown ass men who worked there for 20+ years leaving in tears.

A lot of companies give notice and have a transition period. They don’t just suddenly fire everyone with zero notice.

They may give you an opportunity to wrap up whatever you were working on or transition it over to someone else, rather than force you to ghost all the clients and staff you’ve been closely working with.

In media, where you may be in the middle of working on a story, not being able to at least communicate that you are leaving the company and the story/portfolio will be handed over to another writer, is unfortunate. Really abrupt.

Yes, if you really hate your workers or don’t trust them, or it ended on terrible terms, then maybe you take a more aggressive path. But this just goes to show how sudden and unpleasant this situation is.

From a data security perspective, maybe there is a rationale, but from a human point of view and maintaining positive relationships between staff and company, it sounds like this was a real scorched earth sort of move.

Edit: I’m talking less about “exporting” email contacts, and more about the suddenness of this. Not an amicable end.

No no, they should be allowed to take their extremely valuable customer lists with them when the go job hunting. Let em keep their electronics and proprietary files too. It’s called being nice. And we need more of it.

Isn’t that standard for every job? When you get let go they typically have already cut off your access to chats and emails so you can’t do anything to harm the company

“The former employees were also prohibited from raiding the treasury”

It’s probably considered company property

Is this a normal use of ancillary? I don’t really get it

It’s important here because these jobs rely heavily on networking and contacts…Their value as an employee is dependent on being able to use industry connects, and being cut off from that would effect their value (on the job market) moving forward.

OPs headline was probably trying to emphasize how harsh/abrupt of a firing it was

It has never even crossed my mind to want to do that when I left a job. What a weird thing to add.

Always do this

What correlation is there? Unless boardroom members were in that chat sharing screenshots which doesn’t really make sense

The burner line was added by OP.

there’s just no way KD had a hand in this. he was probably informed in advance, but he doesn’t strike me as a dude that remotely deals with day to day operations.

this is definitely another product of AI and the economy.

Literally what happened tho.

It reads like at least one of them was responsible for the leak itself

Probably not related at all but the poster wanted to tie it in for clicks.

It’s not related, their articles probably just never had traction. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an article from Boardroom before

Breach of trust. If KD believes one of the staff was responsible, he’d not want them. The whole staff got fired because either

1. They were able to narrow down the leaker to editorial staff, but not the exact person, or
2. They somehow believe editorial staff didn’t do enough to prevent the leak.

KD is going scorched earth.

The issue is that people think that just cuz you make millions….youre smart. Hes 100 percent talented for sure…but talent and the spoils of these nba contracts stunted the mental growth of these players.

Feel me on kleimaann

What does this post have to do with Rich Paul?

Your friend was just paid handsomely for a show me job, and will have a path back to ESPN if they want it.

Save the outrage.
