Sounds like Elon realized that and tried to get out of it

Don't only go halfsies and fire half of the staff, go whole hog and fire the entire company and start over from scratch. It's just a little app, you only need like 10 people to develop it using JavaScript and Cobol or something, right?

You have ZERO social media experience. Do not appoint yourself as CEO. Do NOT fire management that has years of experience with no one to replace them.

Totally right. Starbucks recently hired a Barista with 20 years of experience as their new CEO.

At this point he has to completely tuck his man parts and pay all of those people double what they were making while also recruiting a high caliber CEO with tons of social media experience if he wants to have any chance of surviving. Otherwise he’s gonna have to sell the company at a loss.

Happy Friday. Just a reminder of a few things:

- ADHD is a disability, but it’s not the end of the world
- give yourself a break. Your brain needs it more than you realize
- medication is not a cure-all treatment. Medication + diet + exercise + self-organization is the key.
- ADHD causes us to feel emotions stronger than the average person.
- failure is inevitable, but so is success. Act accordingly, and be kind and fair to yourself
- life is hard, but that’s… wait, what was I saying? 😂😎❤️

Post-MBA, 5 weeks into consulting and I hate the weekends. It means I’m one week deeper in the job, and therefore performing another week lower than the level I’m expected to perform at.

I try my best to improve but I still feel so anxious, to the point that I started crying at my desk. What do I do? Anyone here quit within a month?
