@me what remote office costs? The entire burden is on the employee. There’s far more overhead being in an office building.
Maximizing profit by cutting costs involves targeting administrative overhead, non-essential perks, and redundant software licenses. Key areas to cut include remote office costs, legacy tech stacks, and external consulting fees.
Ever since FB era, I've been milking the clock quite a bit. I made an app on my phone that I can start/stop that shows total amount of $ earned while dinking around, like a cab meter. Haven't quite reached Dhivya-level yet ($15m) though.
@eb 💯 couldn’t have put this better in words. business schools teach you how to fail upward with a parachute made of other people’s labor. MBA in certified servant leadership.
I was a president here for 6 months and I had smart enough lawyers to add a clause in my contract that if the CEO who hired me leaves, it will automatically end my employment here and I will be fully vested and cash out all of my stocks and guess what? I made zero contributions to the millions I walk away with. Thank you to the work force for grinding day and night so I can now look to retire while you guys don't even get your annual pay increase. Harvard taught me this.
Exactly, if they don't value my time I don't value theirs.
Yep, try to exploit your employer as much as you can. There's no loyalty anyway.
We’re brainwashed into believing that hard work gets rewarded and promoted. Err it’s doesn’t loyalty to the club does. The real KPI at the top isn’t performance, it’s how little you can contribute while still getting credit for the people under you who are actually doing the work. So everyone should apply this rule and stop working as little as you can, take weeks of R&R to be promoted to the most exclusive role.
@a4 Formula didn't come through. [Revenue] - [Expense]. reduce [Expense] with layoffs because I can't increase [Revenue] easily to get my bonus.
"I'm so smart. I went to business school and I understand the formula - = . Increasing is hard, so I'm going to do like what my golf buddies said and just reduce by laying off bloated FTEs and replacing them with cheap arbitraged labor.
I'm such a genius."
Something like that?
