Yep. It was not happening when the team was small. There are almost 700 of them now. There arent that many engineers.
Its people like chris berret or the army of product managers, marketers, HR and recruiters or whatever number of pointless busywork jobs invented by employees to look like they are required.
They have amazing jobs. Permanent remote, flexible hours, massive salaries, very generous bonuses and vesting schedules, large expense allowances, while not really having much work to do.

They want to jeep their jobs and easy comfy life and who can blame them. Sergey allowed it to happen and it isnt like Eric Schmidt did not warn him. Practically every company i know is making non technical workers go back to office more and more now because they know the same thing is happening.

It just makes me sad when these employees come here and insult me and you and others who basically funded their life and were the net losers in the situation.
I know they get angry when we point out they are just seat fillers, and i know we should be directing it to Sergey but they really could just not post and insult the losers. They have amazing lives and can just ignore us.

The issue is they have no traditional investor structure.
Its all retail bagholders funding it with no power.

If they had actual investors like normal companies do they would be getting criticism from these investors many who are experienced larger companies. They would point out how inefficient the company is, employees posting AI art of their lifestyle and occasional buzzwords like “oracles” would be a point of contention and things like this would bring some accountability otherwise loss of investment.
Unfortunately there just is no accountability at Chainlink due to it, and no competition either. Thats allowed this bloated inefficiency to grow to this behemoth mess.

I think its sad looking back how jovial fud made fun of “smartcon” as in it is a smart con, but its pretty much turned out to be true.

We had a crazy shit marketing last year for it with extremely high ticket price while all holders were down 90%, cringe little marketing towards them, emergency price cuts etc. it had potential dont get me wrong but it just did not pan out.

It seemed like they realised the mistake and made it cheaper this time, somewhere more affordable at least for europeans. However it slowly just turned into a employee vacation and lifestyle event… it really does start living up to the name “smart con” now. I say this with practical tears. What the fuck happend.

We had Schmidt warn Sergey where he was going to fail with work from home and he ignored it. All major tech companies are ordering people back to office for non tech roles because only engineers seem to be able to work that way and remain productive.

>>55557228
>The issue is they have no traditional investor structure.
In a way I'm glad. I understand your point about CLL moving too slow due to lack of investors putting a fire under their ass to hurry tf up, but at the same time Sergey genuinely has a genuinely world-changing vision and being a public company may undermine that vision as he'd have to make compromises to satisfy investors. Sergey is an authentic autist dedicated solely to achieving his vision. He may lack business acumen which causes some missteps but IMO the important thing is that his vision is never compromised.

Functions are in beta and CCIP os nowhere to be seen. LINK has achieved basically nothing since 2019 other than bloating is staff headcount.

Also, how does XRP manage to pump more than LINK on days where SWIFT mentions blockchain and even LINK directly? Its just total failure of Sergey to take advantage of his position. His employees all get 150k cushty remote work with no real work needed to be done and comfy token bonus and vesting schedules. They also have no need to improve anything related to token price

Really really hope these never get released. Actually I hope the team slows things right down and takes a long hiatus from tedious web3 development and enjoys life offline for a bit. I think they are signalling SmartCon23 will mark the start of a decade long break and its well deserved. The team have worked harder than any team in crypto to deliver fundamentally nothing at all afterall. Take your break and if you feel up to it and want to make some money for everyone involved to sustain your comfy lifestyle then the price of Chainlink token must rise upwards but please think of yourself first of all after all there are many i's in Chainlink so there is space for individuality.

It's incredibly imminent. We know they were testing it over the past year with a few partners, now they've finished 2 rounds of public audits and then the announcement from Kemal that it's coming within 1-2 months. This is completely different to Sergey announcing "CCIP 2022" at the start of 2022 when there hadn't been as much work or public knowledge of its progress yet.

He probably gets finessed by overpaid upper management. He seems like a pushover and a rube to me. I don't know about this visionary shit he seems like an autistic fuck who maybe had a good idea but couldn't make it happen even with over a billion dollars (it has to be over a billion cashed out at this point right?)

He's very good at avoiding accountability and surrounds himself with people who are similarly gifted at avoiding accountability. Nobody at Chainlink seems to have the slightest sense of fiduciary duty to their stakeholders - the rubes they all got filthy rich off of - and seem perfectly content to dump on them to fund their lifestyle as long as they can get away with it.

I'm not saying his company "isn't allowed to be more efficient". I even acknowledged in a previous post that Sergey has shortcomings. I agree that he doesn't have the best business acumen. However, for a project as important as Chainlink Sergey's got the most important quality, which is being an autistic visionary. So, he's got room for improvement but I'm still satisfied with the way things are going.

There's lack of business acumen and then there's just straight up scamming. This shit fucking stinks to high heaven from where I'm sitting. But hey you do you. No hate.

>Sergey is a visionary but is an utter failure as a CEO. He doesnt even recognise it either.
This is what I really don't understand. Sergey has the right idea, we all got in because the vision is brilliant. The problem is the execution is starting to really become questionable and his leadership skills in managing the organization is raising a lot of eyebrows. I would have a ton of respect if Sergey acknowledged that his time and energy could be spent in another role, and let someone like Kemal actually take the reins and take on the "CEO" role (note: I don't think anyone is officially the "CEO" of Chainlink... muh SEC fears I guess).

Chainlink has done good things, but something to keep in mind is most of the good things they did happened years ago at this point. In more recent memory Chainlink has been really disappointing. Dangling staking and CCIP at the start of 2022 was a complete scumbag move and there's no way you can spin it. They knew people would never sell with that kind of announcement. In reality we're still waiting for CCIP and we having "staking" in the form of v0.1, which isn't actually staking at all.

The bizarre thing with Chainlink is they behave with a certain arrogance almost like they seem it's still 2020 with the goodwill they had with the community back then. The problem is at this point they've destroyed a huge amount of the goodwill they had with their most dedicated supporters, and it's becoming more absurd as each day passes. I mean, Reds with Rory? Seriously?

I'll say it again: I really hope Francisco is a real dude and he shows up. I really don't think it would be a bad thing for these people living in their own bubble to get shaken up a little bit. Yeah they don't owe anyone anything, but that doesn't mean no one isn't allowed to give these retards a healthy dose of reality.
