Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
You also have a lot of founders who get to that position are workaholics who love focusing on their building empire. For them, it is hard to imagine how people wouldn't want to dedicate everything to building an empire like they do.
Those are my favorites - "Why doesn't everybody in my company want to work 80 hour weeks and never take vacation, like I do?" Geez, maybe it's because they don't own the fucking company and there is absolutely no benefit to them to work themselves to death? They're not the ones making more money just because they're increasing company profits.
Yeah.
It sounds delusional, but by their deluded standards it makes sense.
Everyone should want to work themselves to death do build Jeff Bezos' empire. It's just logical... At least to Jeff.
You also get the problem where people will start companies with other employees that are ride or die because they had significant equity in the company. Once you approach anything like Amazon's size, the potential equity people can get has been severely diminished.
