Alex Karp (still not the CEO)
@autistic.af
Sr. Engineering Manager at Slack. Profoundly autistic. Classically-trained pianist, public speaker, avid swing dancer, YA fantasy fiction lover, and a whisky enthusiast. Occasionally funny, usually by accident. More scared of you than you are of me.
I assume he expects you hang it up like a landline receiver.

6. Regular, explicit performance feedback
7. The ability to work in a quieter part of the office, if needed
8. Task/todo management software

Those are the ones I’ve used specific to being autistic.

Honestly, it would have been more solid if it had been based off of gold’s alchemical properties… 😅

Sounds like you still had a better experience than the people at Fyre Fest. At least you got to hear something. 😂
