CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity firm that crashed millions of computers with a botched update all over the world last week, is offering its partners a $10 Uber Eats gift card as an apology, according to several people who say they received the gift card, as well as a source who also received one.

On Tuesday, a source told TechCrunch that they received an email from CrowdStrike offering them the gift card because the company recognizes "the additional work that the July 19 incident has caused."

    It costs $10 to drive to McDonalds.

    Not only is the paltry sum of $10 a giant 'fuck you' compared to the damage done by the combination of Windows and CrowStrike, it's an especially big 'fuck you' to the hourly workers fiddling with M$ gimmicks^wproducts, and it's an even bigger, meta 'fuck you' message to any and all hourly workers everywhere regardless of field of work. Uber is not even a legitimate service. It's living off of venture capital [investopedia.com] while severely underpaying its employees [medium.com], some of them don't actually break even. The only obvious goal is that the backers of Uber are doing what they can to finish knocking the bottom out of what's left of the labor market [bostonglobe.com]. The same applies to the other 'gig' apps.
