The disconnect from reality here is just mind blowing. Dude needs to go overseas and witness how utterly terrifying a threat on your life you have no control over actually is. Sidenote: punchable face.
Yeah actually mental.
What he calls ‘dedication’ is actually fear at having to hold your job down during the middle of a fucking WAR because if you disappoint your corporate overlords you will be both getting missiles rained on you AND unable to support your family.
It’s desperation, and desperation which is very intentionally baked into the system so dickhead ‘leaders’ like these can get the slaves they are looking for and label that slavery as a ‘positive work ethic’
So out of touch with real people.

Basically any CEO, and even most small business owners, would kill you if it meant a few percent more yearly profit.

Motion to eject them before they eject us
I yield back my time
Someone should fire this guy. Out of a cannon. Into the sun.
Just set him on fire here, no need to launch a rocket with all the pollution that will create.
End result is extra crispy lunatic either way.
We need a Pacific Garbage Patch for billionaires and horrible CEOs. Just shoot them into the garbage and let them become one with the ocean.
CEO: Working in office is good Also CEO: Hiring offshore is also good
???
Silly domestic remote employees want a livable wage and are less tolerant to being paid less because they don’t live in an overpriced area.
That’s weird. It’s almost like they don’t actually care about “incentive structure”, “attracting top talent”, “work/life balance”, “team cohesion”, etc. But they wouldn’t prioritize exploiting workers by seeing who they can control the most for the least amount of pay, would they??
😂🤣😂
“Returning to the office” is such a gross phrase. Get fucked.
Isn’t it. It has a strange implication as though being in the office is the proper place and one day we all just forgot to be there.
My employer has stooped so low as to call it “return to work”. Like, what the fuck have I been doing the past 5 years!?
I’m currently in the final round of interviews for a new employer. I don’t expect that they will be nearly different, but at least they will pay more.
In my salary calculations, office days will attract an added cost and is part of the negotiation. MDA , with its multiple sites and janky schedule, for instance, was a 100k job with 300k of attracted bullshit.
We didn’t come to an agreement.

I’m going to start calling it “Leaving your home”.
This guy seems to have no clue that introverts and neurodivergents are way more sensitive to the hot/cramped/bright/loud environment as the toxicity it is - fun fact: open plan offices are considered sexist - and if he can’t engage his people at their fullest simply by enabling people to self-select work environment, then he needs a little more mentoring.
But that went out of style 20 years ago with technical writers and putting employee health before workload as required.

Especially to “differentiate yourself” 🤣 it’s basically the exact opposite.
It feels like a phrase from a cult trying to convince ex members to return to the fold.
“I live in a poor and war-torn country so I will work for a low wage even while my home might be bombes”
Captialist nut jobs: “So dedicated!”
I swear, if it was legal to execute employees they would do it everyday because “that’s what it means to be a good CEO” or some shit
They’d sell their organs first.
“Today is mandatory skin, bone marrow, and liver donation day. There might be pizza. Employees with moret han one kidney have to refer to HR.”
Because it’s so important that you physically sit here in the office, we’re replacing you with people on the other side of the planet.
Bonus points if your company mandates return to office, lays off people after they return to office, and then builds a nice new office overseas in a completely opposite timezone to fill with replacements. Then make the people there physically sit in that brand new office… and make them report to the people here.
The job? Data entry.
I just… I don’t… Why…
Something something a lot of people falling for talking points put forward by people invested in commercial real estate because if companies start going fully remote the value of commercial real estate will collapse. Combine that with a mix of people who own these companies also being invested in commercial real estate so it’s self serving and companies just in general wanting to have more control over employees.
The reason they are cheap and dedicated is because they are desperate, living in a country where if they didn’t have this job they would literally be starving and in poverty.
So CEOs like this are simply capitalizing on their desperation to save money from hiring domestic workers who have a better safety net. Absolutely disgusting pieces of trash.
Also why does this guy who looks like a 19 year old frat boy believe anyone should listen to his advice?

No, I get it. He reminds the bosses of their kids who they’re ignoring. He tells them what they want to hear so they can pretend their kids love them.
This sounds like the most convincing reason why this guy (or bot maybe) makes these posts. It is posts on LinkedIn afterall.
I looked this guy up. In addition to having the most generic white person name ever, and a face that I’m starting to suspect is an AI composite from the prompt of “generic professional white boy”, his website is a shitty SquareSpace template where the links don’t even work and the images are all generated as well.
His only claim to fame is owning a no-name storage unit business which anyone with some land and Pods can do.
I think this is a scammer who preys on “entrepreneur” wannabes.

Daddy probably bought it for him.
Anyway, my point is that he’s not some tech startup CEO who hires engineers off shore. He’s the equivalent of someone who bought a convenience store franchise license to “run his own company”.
Oh good. At least he’s a massive loser as well as a massive loser

If I post in slack that my family was almost killed and the CEO responds with “this is getting me fired up!!” I will absolutely leak admin credentials and let that bitch get hacked. Kinder and gentler than choking a mf
I saw that disgusting comment at the bottom. He is a caricature businessman from a Verhoeven movie. We’ve reached what was supposed to be over-the-top satire.
If Verhoeven put this in a movie people would be like “that’s a little much” these people are disturbing
I would hack the next incoming drone and target it at the CEO.
No, you won’t.
Them: If this thing happens to me that most likely will not happen to me, I’ll do this thing.
You: No, you won’t.
You see what that shit looks like? Congratulations Cletus, you’ve spoken the obvious about a hypothetical. No I won’t be shooting the people responsible for destroying the planet, thanks for reminding me.
This kinda shit is one of the smaller reasons we all cheered on Luigi.
Luigi is a ‘big hammer’ solution and
- it didn’t make a real difference
- getting to where ‘small hammers’ will fix the issue seems so far off
We have so far to go, and farther by the day.
One Luigi will never make a difference.
That’s just a small hammer too.

Yeah, when you’re easily replaceable and need the job, you tend to work yourself to death. It’s really hard to get a tech job in India, and I assume the same is true for Pakistan.
So yeah, dude has no EQ.
Great, another 26 year old that stumbled into wealth and thinks that makes him an authority.
Like those 20 something “executive coaches” fresh out of school I always seem to stumble upon on LinkedIn. They think they are incredible, but in reality they are only incredible in the literal sense.

I was managing a project with contractors in Ukraine when the war broke out. They had some equipment of ours on loan for around 10.000 euros. While I was handling their employees suddenly scattering all over Europe, my upper management wanted me to ask them to keep our equipment safe. I told my management to get fucked. Luckily they understood how insensitive they were being.
I continued the project, we even paid our invoices earlier to help them out. The company was so grateful. Later in that project, my coworker who is originally from Iran expressed his sympathies when Iranian drones were raining down on Ukraine, how he was ashamed his country was doing this. What a moment
That reminds me of 2015 when there was a big flood in Chennai. We were working on a project and the software team was located there. When the floods happened we didn’t hear anything from them for a few days. A middle manager sent a very angry email to them complaining that we would not be able to make the milestones if they didn’t work during that time and he actually asked us to send an email every few hours asking for updates (we all ignored the order except for one guy)
Thankfully upper management and the CEO office knew better and sent a support email to them and I believe they reprimanded the other manager.
After a few days we learned that some employees actually lost their lives and the office itself was affected and they’re were not able to return to work for a few weeks
My former company had an offshore team in Bangalore (actually, 90% of our company was located there). We had a morning meeting right before a critical release, and the offshore leader told us that nobody there would be able to do anything or even be in contact for the next two or three days. Turns out they were moving to a new office building but nobody there had told the US team anything about it - even though they knew our project schedule. This was completely representative of our communication with them.
I’ve managed people in India before - not to save money but to handle overnight tickets - and to me they work too hard.
One of my reports was affected by some pretty significant flooding and asked if maybe they could have a day off.
I told them to not worry about work until their house was no longer filled with mud and water.
Nice job dude. How did your wife take it after they fired you for being human?
I wasn’t fired. I just stopped being a manager. The worst part is all the other managers.
Yup, my VP laid my coworker off after she announced she was pregnant.
A week later I announced my wife was pregnant and they laid me off.
And as a manager I’d have to sit in a meeting with those assholes and not punch them in the face.
When my VP laid me off, she was on her phone texting someone. She’s going to be a CEO one day.

After a while, you feel sorta numb to corporate America.
Middle management killed my soul. I refused to extract every last drop of productivity from my reports. I did everything I could possibly do for them, but I couldn’t make things right for them. (I advocated for raises, promotions, increased staffing, and more frequent breaks.)
Under my management, my team was more productive than they were with other leadership. (Both the numbers and the customers agreed.) My managers said it was great, but then would complain when they saw them not working 100% of the time. (This was “wasteful.”)
The other middle managers were willing to do what I wouldn’t. Upper management would pass me over for promotions, for the middle managers that were willing to be lackeys that would grind up our staff for the good of profit. My mistake was that I wanted to provide great service and treat my staff like the competent professionals they were. The real vision was to provide the bare minimum, find creative ways to fleece the customers, and do it all by whatever means necessary.
I’ve been there. I am much happier not in management. I hope you’re doing well.

I’m in favor of letting him turn the metaphor literal. Please go headfirst, Collin
I hope it’s a brick wall.
Or the outer wall of a 20th floor suite.
I’ve seen someone try that.
Alcohol was involved.
This is the most monstrous human being I’ve witnessed here. There is something fundamentally broken in him, and I’m terrified that this diseased thought process will spread through speech. I pray it’s genetic, and therefore quarantinable.
A lot of it is biological, but he is almost certainly born into a family, and culture, who worships wealth, and considers it the only metric of worth.
Like Trump. His niece Mary has stated that was the only thing that mattered in Fred Trump’s opinion: wealth, and the ability to generate it. Anything else was weakness.
