Spoiler: She reads some mails, tells other people to do some work, and puts off writing some mails and creating a presentation, i.e. she does nothing.
my favourite response was from this person:
walking mirage @atomicthumbs · 8h Replying to @YehongZhu here's what I do at an e-waste recycler north of SF: I carry printers and UPSs 8 hours a day until I'm too worn out to move, while being paid so little I have to choose between car maintenance and food. Sounds like you're having fun approving others' work, though. That's nice
e-waste recycler
They should pick her up next and recycle her into a human with a real job
Hahaha wow man, people like that live on a different planet
they don't even have a product or service yet :data-laughing:
Bypass Paywalls Clean is more convenient, anywhere you have Firefox. It's good to have archive.org as a fallback, though.
the whole segment is fueled by pension funds needing somewhere to put money they've allocated to 'high risk' 'investments'. It really doesn't matter if 9 out of 10 lose everything.
It's a slower version of crypto scams. You get in early in the hopes someone else buys you out later
Yeah, I was going to say on another thread, it's basically a pump&dump. You need something that sort of plausibly looks like it will make money or corner a narrow market segment, so one of the oligopolies will buy you out so as not to have to compete with anyone.
it's just a stream of different scammers who burn bright and then burn out
Why would I pay for a hexagon avi when I can get them for free :sicko-hexbear:
Incredible, I have spent my whole life trying to minimise the work I have to do while lowering my accountability to bosses, and I cannot hope to match the sheer amount of laziness on display here (Really, fuck investors, but promptly answering them is the bare minimum you should be able to do.)
Seriously this woman does 5% of what the most workshy admin assistant on the planet does. On the plus side, looking at the work her Employees are giving her, they're doing about the same amount of work.
This is Silicon Valley. None of them are actually running companies, they're creating investor scams that only become companies against the wills of the founders.
Good summary from the responses:
she picked up some messed up business cards and instead of asking for a refund she emailed her employee to ask for a refund. then she sent a couple of emails. she was about to send a couple more but then she got scared so she'll do that later
This honestly sounds like the "work" Trump did before becoming president, i.e. take a look at some advert and give it his approval, talk to a couple people, then call it a day.
He was is the most American of the Americans, for better or for worse.
If your job primarily revolves around answering emails I fundamentally do not understand what it is you do
Even better when your job recovers around answering emails and you are so bad at it that you have to bother your engineering team for help or hire someone to write them for you.
Boss man at my job does literally nothing. Like ostensibly he "gets business", but his emails are so full of grammatical and spelling errors it's almost laughable. He also has no idea what we actually do so he's frequently just copying and pasting things from random places and saying things that make no sense for the industry.
He leaves early, gets there late, micromanages and complains about the engineers being lazy then sets out ridiculous goals to hit for bonuses when we're already aware that his rare of profit on us is something like 800%.
They're all the same
As Rocz puts it all work now is just "going on the computer" :wtyp-gang:
My job involves mostly writing emails, since I give legal advice to people within my org. I spend a good chunk of the day just waiting for the higher ups to pull their heads out of their ass and do what I tell them, since their brilliant new ideas tend to be blatantly illegal.
The worst part is that she actually benefited from going hate-viral, in that the wait-list of signups for her company's app doubled, and she got 1.5M Twitter views for free.
Same. I give myself such a hard time because I'm not literally writing code for 8 hours a day. All my boss does is have meetings and make promises that I have to deliver on.
.eth is like a tech bro Ukraine flag.
lets you just discount whatever they go on to say
I open up @Twitter to procrastinate on my deck.
I wonder if other people would be interested in my life?
What does a founder do, anyway?
Does my team know? Does anybody know?
It suddenly feels really important to tweet this. I open a new Google doc and start to type.
