Before I could reply to @zach_yadegari, he deleted his posts, his video, and every comment he left on other people’s posts.
So I’ll speak publicly and directly to you, Zach.
You had no reason to insult me, calling me “butthurt” and then calling my designs “slop.”
@juliali texted me to say sorry for everything while you were throwing insults at me online.
Your company doesn’t stand for anything. After clicking “View hidden comments,” I also saw many comments you had hidden from people calling you out.
You even recorded a video justifying your actions with so much conviction. If you were that sure, why delete it now?
Imagine putting up a hiring post for your company alongside words like “butthurt” and “slop.” That says more about you than anything I could say.
I don’t even want to talk about the offer you were making, because everyone has already said enough.
Everyone saw your true colours. Erasing your posts doesn’t mean your actions will be forgotten or forgiven, not unless you man up and admit where you went wrong instead of insulting others.
As for your insults, I’ll bring to light that my designs are used by companies worth x3 your company. I just don’t feel the need to post about it online for everyone to see.
And I don’t need your compensation. Consider my designs a donation to your company.
ABSOLUTELY SHAMELESS.
Julia contacted me to work for @yourpersona and mentioned they were looking to hire full-time.
After our call, she took many days to reply. I assumed she was busy, so I let time pass.
Then she came back with a project and said:
“We changed it to make it easier and less time consuming. To preface, it won’t be paid (I wanted to be clear, since I mentioned that in our last call), since we just want fast work so we can speed up the hiring process. We love your work!”
Two things:
1. She never mentioned it wouldn’t be paid on our last call, but I didn’t think much of it.
2.She said she wants to speed up the hiring process.
I worked hard on the project. It took me 2-3 hours, on top of a 24-hour deadline for another client, because I wanted to make a good first impression. I submitted it and waited. I knew I did well, and I was confident my designs were better than anyone’s.
I waited patiently for days. Then she sent this:
“Hey, I have an update! The team thinks you’re a great designer and we would love to work with you, we’re just a little too early to expand right now. We’d love to stay in touch and reconnect in a month or two! I’ll hit you up then :)”
Mind you, she said they wanted to hire fast. Now they’re “a little too early to expand”? And she went on to post this engagement farming post.
Why is she posting this when she’s already “found” me? The team supposedly thinks I’m great and would love to work with me.
I contacted a few friends here on X who have viral posts like mine. They got the exact same message from her.
If you’re not ready to expand, why ask for a free trial and promise a full-time role? And why are you now shamelessly posting this to get people to do more free work and hand over more free ideas for your app?
