These narcissist CEOs cannot grasp the idea that “life” is employees working for themselves and pursuing their own interests instead of working for others.
What kind of commitment does Reid Hoffman have towards seeing his employees win?
What kind of profit sharing do LinkedIn employees enjoy? What’s the salary / compensation disperancy look like between the average employee and the C-Suite executives? What’s the medical insurance and parental leave packages look like? What about education reimbursement?
Seriously, who is “winning” in Reid Hoffman’s ideal scenario?
Kings deserve the Guillotine!
If you think you’re winning because you’re a corporate slave in capitalism then actually you’re losing at life.
Reid Hoffman can wake up at 4:30am and begin the important work of eating my entire arsehole.
I wouldn’t give him the privilege of the entirety. He can just lap at the crusty bits.
Win what?
Win the expectation to do more work without proper compensation, in my experience.
That gave me the greatest laught yesterday.
It was so expected but still funny
I am not committed to winning
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.
this belongs in linkedin lunatics
Dude wants to win at work. I win at life.
He doesn’t understand the difference.
Fuck this guy. I say we guillotine him as an example to the others.
The quote is right though I suspect he means something very incorrect by it. If your work is hostile to your life, you’re losing; ditch that job immediately.
Not everyone hates their family, Reid.
I’ve worked with a number of workaholics over the years. A few have straight-up admitted that they were taking on extra work to get away.
Until I have the same unlimited upside as a founder does, I’m committed to work life balance. If you’re a wage employee, there is not point in giving your life to your job.
To be fair, he’s talking to the founders of startups, not employees. But still, he sounds like an ass.
Personally I’d rather have both
Not a good dedicated wage slave.
