Kings deserve the Guillotine!
Says the man who has a maid, a butler, a staff waiting with a coffee and strudel for him at work. Every conference call is set up and waiting on him to start. Everyone is lined up to lick his boots at all time, to ensure the person who’s time is “the most valuable” never has to spend an extra second listening to anyone or anything they don’t want to. Give me a break.
Reid Hoffman can wake up at 4:30am and begin the important work of eating my entire arsehole.
I am not committed to winning
I want to live in a place where life isn’t a game with winner or losers, but a fun experience to share with those you love.

I mean that’s fine for the guy or gal trying to start up their own business, which is what his talk was about, in the class he was addressing.
This should not apply to the workers though which is what way to many of business owners seem to forget once they start touring s profit and hiring people.
What they forget is that other people aren’t going to be as comitted to their business as they themselves are. They’re not going to care as much for the simple fact, that if the business takes off, they’re not going to earn any of the profits. Why would I work 50 hour weeks like the founder, if I don’t stand to actually reap the benefits?
not to mention a lot of US companies have “bonuses” to encourage you, but haven’t the foresight to think that an unmet bonus - usually out of the person’s hands, at least in my experience - is just a pay cut, and pay cuts are the worst thing you can do for morale and productivity.
There are many ways to win in life. LinkedIn isn’t one of them.
I love for me, not for a business.
When I’m old and dying I’ll never say “I wish I worked more”
I think loving for a business is illegal in many places. ;)
If anything, Linkedin itself is a redflag just from their psychopathic micromanagers lost in their own world thinking everyone owes them something.
Does “winning” mean you ignore family, friends, and self-care to further enrich giant corporations…? Cuz if so, I suggest this dude jump up his own asshole.
The quotes are specifically about early stage startup founders, not employees of huge established startups corporations.
Ah yes, slave away for decades to make the company’s executives/owners richer, sacrificing watching your kids grow up, sacrificing your relationship with your spouse, family, and friends.
Giving up time for hobbies and community service so that I can get a raise that barely keeps up with inflation, a pizza party twice a year, shitty coffee that the employees have to make, in a pot that the employees have to clean, and eventually a parking space that is 100 feet closer to the entrance so I can get into the office even quicker…
Nah, forgive me for passing on being a “winner.”
Define winning.
Making money for your boss of course!
Fuck this guy and anyone who thinks like him
Winning what for whom, you blubbering dipshit?
Fuck this “you can’t get anywhere without stepping on everyone else” attitude.
