Dude wants to win at work. I win at life.
He doesn’t understand the difference.
This guy reeks of chode energy.
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.
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
What a loser
Not a good dedicated wage slave.
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.
Cool, he might consider fucking off and dying.
Winning what, more profits for you instead of me? Get fucked, loser.
I work to live. I dont live to work.
“Winning” presumably means achieving something as worthwhile as inflicting LinkedIn on the world. I’m good thanks.
Maybe if workers actually Won by doing their jobs, this would be even close to approaching accurate.
I mean he’s definitely an asshole for many reasons, but the context is “if you are a start-up entrepreneur”
No, he’s still an idiot, and he’ll realize it when he dies, if he’s lucky.
That gave me the greatest laught yesterday.
It was so expected but still funny
this belongs in linkedin lunatics
