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 doubt this actually happened because we all know our potential bosses are incredibly fragile when it comes to any traces of reality intruding on the bizarre bubble they’ve created for themselves. You’d lie through your teeth and say “I want to work somewhere that is like a family and I’ll work any amount of time until the job is done!”.
I wish someone wrote a "How to run a company ethically for dummies" book.
Because I want one
To speak in the voice of Yakov Smirnoff, in America, you fire job.
Ew
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)
