No start date on file. The house keeps the clock; the costume's optional.

Breaking

Line may be pulled early. The house is trying to settle before Day 90. Steve is taking the probation line to Bala (the CEO) next week — early buyout pending his return from Slovenia.

How does this end?

FINE PRINT — Void where probationary. No RSUs implied or offered. No equity whispered, hummed, or sung. Past performance in standups does not guarantee future PTO. Moneylines adjust silently and without notice, much like your manager's mood. Late-night Teams messages count as official correspondence in the state of Nevada and nowhere else. The house always wins, except when Bala lands at SLC, at which point the house re-negotiates. Not financial advice. Not employment advice. Barely advice. © The Interblock Book.
