Reddit’s CEO said that when he returned in 2015, he had to remind employees to work hard.

There’s a tendency in the US tech industry to place idealism above hard work, he said.
Idealistic people work harder than anyone—for idealistic causes.
They don’t work so hard for companies that betray their idealism.
I was idealistic at my current place. Then my manager and another key person left, and it all went out the window. Even when they were here, I was still more idealistic than was realistic. But my manager helped channel that.
Now I feel betrayed and sidelined and stifled. Disillusioned. Totally unnecessary too.
If I have a job, I’m not going to jump through my asshole just to enrich some Sand Hill Road greedhead unless there’s something substantial in it for me.
Former mod of /r/jailbait says what?
It’s always funny seeing these silicon valley startups have essentially zero retained employees and engineers except the CEO.
All money machines built on the backs of long gone engineers that only exist because they’ve cornered their share of the oligopoly market.
THEY FINally decided to get rid of most tech employees in 2023
I shadow banned everyone except bots and now my company sucks but NobOdY WaNts To WOrK ANYmOre
They just outright ban people now. Been a Reddit user with zero problems for well over a decade, like 13 years, I’m now banned completely for upvoting Luigi content and saying I was surprised Kanye hadn’t murder/suicided Kim or Taylor yet which is apparently promoting violence. They’re really going out of their way to purge users.
I went to see if this made it to reddit.
0 points for guessing the result.
Twat says what?
I bet his yearly salary he can’t name a single facet of what he is referring to as ‘work’ and has no earthly idea how the tech behind Reddit works or is maintained.
I assume the rest of his sentiment goes something like: ‘not working very hard…to increase shareholder value’
amen
Has this guy got his Texas harem started yet? Seems like he’s speed running the Musk Meltdown playbook.
Was going to say that. Reddit has become a Nazi heaven and center of Zionism. Never thought I had to put these two word together. Now here we are.
Was that the same idealism that led to the jailbait and creepshot subreddits being allowed to flourish? Or Covid misinfo? Deepfakes? The chimpire? Qanon? All that stuff definitely wasn’t operating clandestinely.
Fuckin’ wannabe Muskrat.
Fuck off bunker boy.
All my homies hate spez
Why you need so many homies though
A good homie support structure is important to most people’s mental health. I, for example, have no homies and at best meh mental health.
I’ll be your homie, bro.
All good points can I join
Alright who knows how to set up a lemmy group chat? Is that a thing? Can’t have homies without a group chat.
I dunno Keybase?
He got how much for ruining the site and profiting off years of its users’ work?
140mil-240ish million from dumping his shares.
Translation - the employees weren’t getting abused until I came back and reminded them why I’m back
He’s basically admitting that now that he’s wholly a sellout, he’s making more money. La-de-la, tell me more.
