When reports came out Wednesday afternoon that CrowdStrike sent out $10 Uber Eats vouchers to partners — i.e. the third-party agents selling CrowdStrike to customers and managing their day-to-day needs — as a token of apology for making their lives miserable during the worst global tech outage in history, there were three main buckets of reactions.
One important thing to note (according to the issuing letter I saw) was that this was a 10$ credit no strings attached.
The “strings” are that $10 isn’t enough for an order, so in order for anybody to actually use this apology token, they still have to pay money. While the credit itself, may be free, using it is definitely not.
