I saw a post recently on linkedin. A founder was saying "If you had one year to live, would you still choose to work at this company? That is the bar to join <crappy nonsensical startup>". It was so incredibly sad.

Since slavery is forbidden, morons are the next best thing, I guess.

Boy, please share. I need something depressing to laugh about

Managed to find it again, there you go: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/arnau-ayerbe_met-brian-chesky...

Way more depressing than i thought. If that's what these YC folks are even in public, i want my time back wasted listening to their messages.

Interesting:

"How fast do you want to learn?": in my experience many companies in my opinion don't want employees that learn fast, because otherwise these employees would immediately see and call out a lot of bullshit.

"Would you feel ownership on day one?": in my experience many software companies don't want employees to really feel ownership about their code, since "ownership" means that the respective employee will be willing to fight hard that his vision of this "owned" code is retained and this code won't be "tainted" by "unworthy" ideas of other colleagues.

Wow, this is low even by LinkedIn standards.

Why would you say anything on Linkedin in the first place? There is absolutely no reason to engage there unless you are PR for a company or self proclaimed career ̶c̶o̶a̶c̶h̶ liar.

If you are in a game of smoke and mirrors, you play the game according to the rules.

I don’t post on LinkedIn. Got better games to play.

Well, if your boss doesn’t say what they think, you shouldn’t either. And why would even consider posting something to linkedin, in the first place?

Agree 100% - if I were to bring my authentic self to work I'd be fired in about a minute flat.
