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.
Dude wants to win at work. I win at life.
He doesn’t understand the difference.
this belongs in linkedin lunatics
Kings deserve the Guillotine!
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.
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?
“Hail corporate!”
He’s right. I’m committed to getting paid and doing what I want.
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.
Exactly the sort of vapid self destructive Corpo-Cap shittery you’d expect out of the LinkedIn cofounder. He’s probably like that all the time.
If you think you’re winning because you’re a corporate slave in capitalism then actually you’re losing at life.
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.
You have been banned from /r/capitalism
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
I want work life imbalance. I want less work and more life.
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
There are many ways to win in life. LinkedIn isn’t one of them.
