    If you think you’re winning because you’re a corporate slave in capitalism then actually you’re losing at life.

    Exactly the sort of vapid self destructive Corpo-Cap shittery you’d expect out of the LinkedIn cofounder. He’s probably like that all the time.

    These narcissist CEOs cannot grasp the idea that “life” is employees working for themselves and pursuing their own interests instead of working for others.

    What kind of commitment does Reid Hoffman have towards seeing his employees win?

    What kind of profit sharing do LinkedIn employees enjoy? What’s the salary / compensation disperancy look like between the average employee and the C-Suite executives? What’s the medical insurance and parental leave packages look like? What about education reimbursement?

    Seriously, who is “winning” in Reid Hoffman’s ideal scenario?

    Says the man who has a maid, a butler, a staff waiting with a coffee and strudel for him at work. Every conference call is set up and waiting on him to start. Everyone is lined up to lick his boots at all time, to ensure the person who’s time is “the most valuable” never has to spend an extra second listening to anyone or anything they don’t want to. Give me a break.

    Reid Hoffman can wake up at 4:30am and begin the important work of eating my entire arsehole.

    I want to live in a place where life isn’t a game with winner or losers, but a fun experience to share with those you love.

    I mean that’s fine for the guy or gal trying to start up their own business, which is what his talk was about, in the class he was addressing.

    This should not apply to the workers though which is what way to many of business owners seem to forget once they start touring s profit and hiring people.

      What they forget is that other people aren’t going to be as comitted to their business as they themselves are. They’re not going to care as much for the simple fact, that if the business takes off, they’re not going to earn any of the profits. Why would I work 50 hour weeks like the founder, if I don’t stand to actually reap the benefits?

        not to mention a lot of US companies have “bonuses” to encourage you, but haven’t the foresight to think that an unmet bonus - usually out of the person’s hands, at least in my experience - is just a pay cut, and pay cuts are the worst thing you can do for morale and productivity.
