NiftyNoon: PROOF of Layoffs

It is a good day to exercise empathy and understanding (October 3, 2023)

Nifty Thought

• The PROOF layoffs are very disappointing. I wish everyone impacted by the layoffs all the best. If anyone reading this knows of any open web3 roles, please do not hesitate to reach out to people that have just been laid off. A list of those impacted is included in the NiftyNoon Twitter thread and will be featured in the newsletter tomorrow. It is a good day to exercise some empathy and understanding for our fellow humans. Even if you do not know of open roles, it might be kind to show support to the people that have just lost their jobs.
