Mastercard's NFT Lead Quits Job, then Sells Resignation Letter as an NFT
Hey Peeps!
On February 2nd, the Product Lead of NFT for Mastercard, Satvik Sethi, dropped a thread on Twitter, that is sure to be one of most unique ways a person resigned from their job in history.
Within this Twitter thread, Sethi goes on to claim that he was a "victim of harassment & emotional distress caused by a series of mismanaged processes, miscommunication, internal inefficiency".
The former NFT Lead states he went months without being paid, and even had his salary cut while he was having visa issues.
Here is the start of the long Twitter thread explaining his journey and experience with Mastercard:
"One of the most difficult decisions I've ever had to make, yet one the simplest things I've done. This is the start of one of the most incredible stories of our time, I will make sure of that." - Satvik Sethi

If you are interested in supporting this individual, you can go ahead and mint the NFT for just 0.023 ETH.
The resignation letter NFT has been minted over 100 times already in just a few days.
Satvik originally moved to England for the Mastercard job, is now set to move back to India as his via status is in jeopardy.
Despite this, the last few tweets took a more optimistic tone, as Satvik brought up his intentions to continue working on a project, called "joincircle", focusing on his artwork, and betting on himself.
I am hopeful Satvik Sethi succeeds in his future and does not let this obstacle derail his path.

I'm pretty sure a tweet doesn't count as a resignation letter, but of course it's an interesting way to make the reasons for your resignation widely known.
The NFT is the resignation letter, it seems his tweet thread is just him shouting it out to the world.
You make an excellent point! Now everyone knows he was fired and will cause them to wonder and look into it. Perhaps this is not the best move for his career in the long-term.
I don't know... His next employer could point to this tweet and say "Look, this is a guy who goes public with his grievances, but have you heard him complain about us? No! That's proof that we are a great company - call us today to find out if you are the person we are looking for!"
