Believe it or not, burning out your employees is actually good for business, they do their best work right before they collapse from exhaustion

Tempered steel makes better swords than metal simply poured into the right shape. Constantly pushing yourself will make you a better worker and companies looking to be world leaders in competitive fields will ensure they follow this model if they are smart. Nobody changed the world by letting geniuses work at less than their full potential...

That being said - I took a pay cut to work a job with better wlb. You only need so much money before you run out of ways to spend it, especially if you never have any free time, energy, or mental space that isn't focused on work

Companies can succeed at the expense of the employee's livelihood, of course.

you mean this sardonically right? the community on this app has left me doubting everyone’s moral compass

How come these CEOs and leaders always "point down" when companies make big strategic mistakes? The C suite and execs at report directly to them make huge bank (and stock options) to strategically lead the company and make plans. Its absolutely stupid that this dude should point fingers at wlb and Googlers not be "hungry" enough. But the blame where it lies - it was a fault of corp leadership that they got strategically lazy and overconfident. You can innovate and lead AND have a workforce that has wlb. So tired of these gilded age idiots always pointing to "everyone else but us entitled executive class is responsible for (insert thing here)".

Eric Schmidt took that Statement back the day after.

Google and OpenAI had the same policy for how much time to work in the office. It wasn't hours not worked from the office that lost them the lead.

Elon is a polarizing character. Not sure he's one to emulate.

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of. I don't want to be plowing through our savings for selfish reasons like my mindframe at work, but I don't want to make our lives worse by being miserable. It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.

There really is such a direct correlation between cringey title and cringey posts.

Before LinkedIn...to me, the king of professional cringey was Shingy. Do you guys remember him? He was aol's overpaid "digital prophet" and got paid to visit companies at lunchtime and babble the same kind of nonsense we now call "LinkedIn cringe".

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard

Does anyone think it’s a good idea to beg for a job and put your personal life out there to get sympathy, because that is what I am seeing every day on LinkedIn and then the recruiters and everybody will comment and send the jobs and they will end up with a job or interview the next day.
I’m getting close to the point of doing that because it seems like it is working.
