A place to post ridiculous posts from linkedIn.com
(Full transparency.. a mod for this sub happens to work there.. but that doesn't influence his moderation or laughter at a lot of posts.)
I know he’s not the only one but the exploitation of salary workers is insane to me. I’m a PM at a niche contracting company, I’m hourly and 40 hours is full time. I’ve had conversations with my boss about going salary and told him that it’s still only 40 hours a week.
I’m still hourly and I work overtime occasionally but you better believe I’m getting paid time and a half for any time over that 40 hours. And if I even touch my work phone while I’m on vacation, I’m billing those hours.
To speak in the voice of Yakov Smirnoff, in America, you fire job.
people who deeply believe in the mission (and the future value of their equity)
A perfect summation of the worthlessness of techbros - outwardly all about "the mission" (inwardly all about getting their $$$ and getting out).
lol startups. “Sorry we are looking for someone to exploit to get us up and running and then fire so we don’t have to agree to pay them what they’re worth once we can.”
What a tool
TOOL as a band is much better than this guy
One of the greatest bands, vs one of the worst people.
He’s actually not wrong. Startups are brutal, you have to literally take in the whole world with as little as possible.
Once you carve out your niche, then you can relax a bit. But before that you are in a race with an unknown number and quality of competitors. You can’t afford to have a good work-life balance.
So; the candidate did tank their chances by mentioning they wanted better work-life balance. You don’t apply to startups if that’s what you want. Look more towards established banks and the like.
But the dude in the post yapping about loving 80hr weeks is clearly deranged (or trying to impress some VCs)
