“I've not been personally involved in Talia being let go and it was not because she posted a Medium letter directed at me.” “Late last night I read Talia's medium contribution and want to acknowledge her point that the cost of living in SF is far too high,” Stoppleman tweeted Saturday. Stoppleman lent his voice to Talia Jane's frustrations - as did Yelp - but stopped short of offering any kind of of a pay increase to employees.

“This was entirely unplanned (but I guess not completely unexpected?) but any help until I find new employment would be extremely appreciated,” she wrote in an update to the Medium post, later tweeting that she was told by human resources and her manager that "the letter violated Yelp's 'Terms of Conduct.'" Talia Jane claims that Yelp responded to her post by firing her: But we're not allowed to take any of that home because it's for at-work eating." “Bread is a luxury to me, even though you've got a whole fridge full of it on the 8th floor. "I haven't bought groceries since I started this job,” the 25-year-old customer service rep for Eat24, which Yelp bought for $124 million last year, wrote on Friday. Tales of how excruciatingly expensive the Bay Area is are pretty rampant these days, so Talia Jane’s post from Friday hardly comes as a surprise. No one - including Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppleman - rejects the struggles of former Yelp employee Talia Jane, which she detailed in an open letter to Stoppleman on Medium outlining how hard it is to pay her rent, buy groceries (she can’t even afford bread and lives on rice and water) or even drive to work in the San Francisco Bay Area.
