Waiting for bankruptcy- a pre-emptive obituary - Anonymous employee Recurrent Ventures Employee Review

Here lies Recurrent, laid to rest under the weight of its own missteps: Overhired, then underhired, resulting in millions spent on severance Sold off once-cherished brands to service crushing debt Yearly C-suite jumbles with three CEOs in three years and a revolving door of revenue leaders Chased away every editorial genius who might have driven actual revenue Chased away all talent with no backup plan to replace them Quite literally forbade editors from writing what they knew would resonate Invested nothing in technology—not even enough to manipulate Google effectively Ignored every expert voice—external and internal contractors alike Cultivated zero culture, living only in the shadow of the next inevitable layoff The sole silver lining: upon liquidation, someone might finally acquire these once-cherished brands at a bargain May its fumbled strategy serve as a cautionary tale. Rest in pieces.
