For context, the Bench bookkeeping SaaS suddenly collapsed and was subsequently acquired by employer.com:<p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=42549343">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=42549343</a><p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=42523061">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=42523061</a><p>When users now go to login to Bench, it asks if you want to consent to share your data with employer.com; OR request a download link be emailed to you. However, the download links never came, and Bench now says they will arrive by January 15th. Additionally, Bench now reportedly says that you must consent to share your data with employer.com in order for them to prepare a download link.
