Robber Barons are back in style!
Why is anyone questioning why people want to murder the rich and support social programs more and more. You have just sit and think how much people will take before they absolutely slaughter these fucking pieces of human trash.
This guy's upset you won't break your back to make him richer.
What a piece of shit.
Yeah, you can go fuck yourself with your 7 day work week.
Stebbings, founder of 20VC, a firm managing $650 million in funds, advised founders on LinkedIn last month that “7 days a week is the required velocity to win right now,” to compete with startups in Silicon Valley and China.
Just from that sentence you can tell the guy leads an impoverished life in ways that won't be fixed by money. But he's going to spend his life chasing money because he can't imagine what else to do with it.
Good - nobody needs billion-dollar startups. The line doesn't have to co constantly go up forever. We don't need to constantly improve productivity and do more for less. Fuck that and fuck this "debate".
"Debate"? What fucking "debate"?
Someone suggests something comedically fucked up and it's now a debate?
Shut the fuck up and sit down, you VC cunt. No one wants to hear your clown-show takes.
Meanwhile, some places have been trying out 4-day 8 hour days, and have found that they retain competent staff who have fewer accidents and make fewer errors, increasing company productivity while reducing wage spend.
Jokes on him: some of the laziest jobs I’ve had were for successful startups.
Hell, I work for a startup right now and spent the last three hours in my hammock watching YouTube.
I get paid for results, not time
JFC, I loathe douchebags like this so very much.
Can we just agree as a society that people like this are ruining the world? Maybe if they were treated like the enemies of humanity they are, and exposed to 1% of the misery they cause, it would be a less common genre of shitty person?
Screw all Venture capitalist. They destroy everything they touch. Why should a worker give all they've got just to get screwed in the end?
Says the dude who counts golfing, diners, other events as "work"
The rich are ripping the copper out of the walls of society before it all comes crashing down. They burn out employees, throw them away and hire fresh ones. Who cares, they're not planning of any of this lasting much longer.
You'll get four and you'll like it.
If it is your startup, you are free to work 996 mode. Don't expect your employees to do the same.
We need to tax these fuckers till they bleed.
Yeah you can fuck yourself with a rusty pitchfork. I'd prefer death over those shitty hours.
Given how much billion dollar start-ups are ruining our world, wouldn't that be a good thing?
He might be right, but if he wants me to work more than 5 days a week then I would expect to be compensated accordingly. Otherwise he can fuck off.
CEOs 996 is 9 hours per week, 9 days per month, 6 months a year right?
I mean this is just how you get any real talent with any real mobility to use that mobility to leave.
I love how we're simultaneously being told that AI is this wonder invention that's streamlining everything but also that we're apparently supposed to now work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week.
Either AI works as advertised, in which case let it do most of the work and let us work less, or AI doesn't actually help at all, in which case fuck off and stop trying to shoehorn it into everything.
Check out the bags under this guy's eyes. He's not even thirty
But it literally did.
Isn't the point of working hard so that you can take it easy eventually? These psychos never take it easy, the suffering is the point for them.
oh no
I'd be so mindful of how i spoke, if I had a Backpfeifengesicht like him.
All those men lost in the jungle and now we’re giving credibility to the Viet Cong. We truly have fallen.
996 work culture isn't for everyone - or even most people. But if someone wants to start a company doing something they love and work that much, I say go for it. I started a company, albeit I only work 60/week, doing something I love and working with my family. It isn't the only way, but is the way that works for us. 🤷
I'd like to see this motherfucker work for 12 hours every day for 6 days a week for some minimum wage shit. These corporate suits are beyond disconnected from reality.
Well not everything needs to be worth a billion. Certainly no person should ever be that rich.
People with insatiable greed have a mental disorder. They cannot even conceptualize the idea of working a reasonable amount, and being happy with a modest profit.
Maybe we should stop letting the most sociopathic & insatiable people set standards that can never be satisfied.
Yeah, you gotta work like that, if you're the one starting the business. Talking to a client who owned several businesses one night over drinks. He said you have to work your ass off for a year and-a-half to two years, then it pretty much runs itself.
One might note that he wasn't talking about his employees working like that.
You gonna pay me a billion dollars to work at your startup? No? Then shut the fuck up, you wannabe-slaver asshole!
Tencent subsidiary riot games already does this. By soft policies like providing shuttle (only at night/early morning) and free dinner.
these people are physically incapable of saying things meant to scare people without it coming out as supporting the thing they dislike.
no more billion-dollar startups? fucking hell yeah, let's implement it!
Yeah, I’d work 995 if…
There’s not enough money you could give me could make up for having Saturday off.
I’ve seen a handful of new startups posting about their 4-day, 32-hour work weeks. I can only imagine they’re bringing on a scuzzton of top talent at middle-of-the-road prices.
When one of them IPOs for a billion dollars, I hope their employees are incredibly annoying about it. I hope they never shut up. I hope my LinkedIn feed is wall-to-wall “look what you can do on four days a week.” I hope they go door to door with a Rolex on both wrists and say “hello, sir/madam, I just wanted you to know I haven’t worked a Friday in five years.” I hope they post pictures of themselves relaxing with a martini at the start of every three-day weekend and people go ballistic in the comments and they don’t even notice because they’re too busy doing interviews with Forbes and Fortune Magazine. I hope I get sick and tired of hearing about four day weeks.
I’m sure as hell tired of hearing about execs that want their employees to burn out.
We live in a world of Supply & Demand, and he won't get the supply of labor he requires unless he meets the demand for proper compensation. It's the simplest economics there is.
Who needs a life, religion, and family when you are working as a cog in "profit generator machine 3000"?
No. It's obviously not.
I mean of course the VCs will say that. They aren't the ones working. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Whatever LinkedIn loser. It’s not needed anywhere, and it’s illegal in China.
we don't need billion dollar startups just to begin with.
