Techish hosts Abadesi and Michael switch things up this week with some juicy AITA scenarios. They unpack turning down a big tech job handed to you through family connections, saying no to bankrolling your brother’s startup, and getting a little petty post-layoff. They dive into privilege, responsibility, and the messy mix of family and money.
