This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/why-you-should-never-use-upwork-ever-5c62848bdf46. Note. I never wanted to write something like this, or expose the people involved.

This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/4-reasons-why-email-is-obsolete-and-you-should-move-on-0v1k3tpu.
