It’s been almost a week, and myself and former BuzzFeed employees have not been able to trade the shares we have earned and paid for because of a fuck up by management.
Meanwhile, the stock has plummeted from a high of ~$15 to below $6.
BuzzFeed began trading on the stock market on Monday, a significant step that may help the company expand while also paving the way for other emerging digital media organizations aspiring to become publicly traded enterprises. nyti.ms/3IikoGW

It's now four days after BuzzFeed’s IPO, and every former employee who chose to exercise their options because we believed in the company is unable to sell them. Of course, this is four days after people like @peretti and @benyt were able to dump them all at the high of $14.77.

plant gays: my dumb cane's leaves are stunted/new leaves are growing in smaller... do we know why that would be?

Plants always suffer from less sunlight (both daylight hours and intensity) in the winter months and their leaves grow smaller. I think dumb canes thrive in bright environments, so as long as the leaves aren't wilted it's probably perfectly healthy!

A lot of early BF staffers got paid 25-35K their first years at BuzzFeed and couldn’t sell their shares on the first day because of the steps we had go through to get access to selling shares we already owned. Congrats to BF management and investors though.

BuzzFeed former employees were sent an email last night telling them they had to convert their shares from Class B to A to sell – which will take another 3-5 days, but as far as I can tell didn't communicate that until *after* it was public for one day.

Is this more or less than the money he owed his dancers
Todrick Hall says it was a friend who burglarized his LA home, taking over 150K in valuables:
“It would’ve been sad for a stranger to take advantage of me, but the fact that it was a friend...crushes me & honestly made me lose a little faith in humanity.”
