Hound saw assets fall from $4.6 billion at the end of 2017 to $1.8 billion at the end of 2022, according to Tiger's suit. "There is no instance of which Tiger is aware where Mr. Auerbach sought a positive reference for his funds that Tiger declined to provide," Tiger's suit states. Auerbach did not work for Robertson's fund but was seeking capital to start his fund in 2004 when he met the billionaire.

In October 2023, Soni Mehra left her Big Tech job to focus on her own home decor business. I was accustomed to working with larger teams in Big Tech, so I've had to get used to balancing multiple tasks. Thankfully, I can rely on savings from my prior Big Tech roles. I no longer make the same salary as I did in Big Tech, but still prioritize spending money on things my partner and I value, like travel. People ask me if I'd ever return to Big Tech.

☆ How M&M’s is making the most of its spokescandies controversy
  + stars: | 2023-01-25 | by ( Danielle Wiener-Bronner | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Given the outsize attention, some think M&M’s announcement is a PR stunt to hype its upcoming Super Bowl commercial. M&M’s relatively subtle changes aimed at inclusivity didn’t seem like they were designed to spark much controversy, if any. At the Washington Post, for example, an opinion piece declared “the M&M’S changes aren’t progressive. “In the last year, we’ve made some changes to our beloved spokescandies,” M&M’s said. “The original colorful cast of M&M’s spokescandies are, at present, pursuing other personal passions,” Wesley said.
☆ M&Ms says it's pulling its beloved 'spokescandies' after right-wing outrage over shoes, gender
  + stars: | 2023-01-23 | by ( Rebecca Picciotto | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Candy maker Mars said Monday it is replacing its M&Ms "spokescandies" with actress Maya Rudolph after facing right-wing criticism over its mascot makeover. The spokescandies are a team of cartoon M&Ms mascots that have represented the brand in commercials and other marketing materials since 1960. Early last year, the candy brand updated the cartoons and its marketing, rebranding each mascot with a new backstory, clothing and personality to be more inclusive. "Orange" became a mascot riddled with anxiety, and the company added a new purple M&M, which was designed to represent inclusivity. And we definitely didn't think it would break the internet," M&Ms said in a statement Monday on Twitter.
