  • The IT startup I worked at went from providing free food, snacks and beverages to bringing in management consultants clocking hundreds of dollars per hour and finally investing in tonnes of household chemicals while they couldn’t afford to pay our wages. I think they went through bankruptcy at least three times while I worked there, before the former CEO and CTO fled the country.

    Edit: The VC’s were in cahoots with the management consultants. No idea if they were involved with the household chemicals. The fools who invested in the IPOs however were fucked over twice.













  • The long ass skinny one is great for pickle jars on the dining table. We love pickles.

    The herring one, well, it’s called “sillgaffel” in Swedish. We do use it when we eat pickled herring, but also for olives and other small delicacies served in small bowls instead of using tooth picks to pick them out.

    The “sandwich” one is accompanied by a “sandwich” knife, and are intended to be used for appetizers, and according to an older friend, single sandwiches with ham and (sometimes melted) cheese would be served as appetizers occasionally.

    There are dessert forks as well, but they are rare. There are proper crustacean forks too that I would like, as they’d be useful.

    There also are supposed to exist fish forks (and fish knives) in the series as well, but I kind of stop before that.
