    I worked at a couple of startups and every single one was a success with good exit strategies, and we had good work-life balance. His view is factually false.

    If anything, Linkedin itself is a redflag just from their psychopathic micromanagers lost in their own world thinking everyone owes them something.

      This context does not change anything. Not prioritizing health shows a critical misunderstanding of what wealth is, and how to reap its benefits. You are not likely to be a good business person if you do not understand fundamentals.

      That being said, if you’re willing to cheat/lie/steal you can ignore a lot of the fundamentals - which is the route most of these “cofounders” took

      Right? “Winning” what exactly? Reid Hoffman’s trying to be the best at being the most miserable and unfulfilled. The most regrets on his death bed.

    Well I say seeking to remove my work-life balance means he’s not committing to not wanting to taste lead at high velocity using the base of his skull as a mouth.

    Linkedin is a meat market for capitalist labor. It is very anti- worker, pro capitalist douchebaggery. Fuck Linkedin.

    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?

    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.”
