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.
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.
Guy who never worked hard in his life tries to tell other people to work hard.
Yes sometimes these guys (CEOs) do longer hours, but it consits of eating dinner with other Cs, looking at presentations (which they cant judge because they generally have no idea how the actual business runs), sitting in meeting, flying to other meetings and pretending to look at some company numbers and of course having the very very high responsibility that they keep talking about that they actually never ever have.
Does this mean they should make x50 or more than the average worker ? You judge that.
I can’t remember who it was, but sometime in the last few years a VC or CEO wrote an article documenting their day and how they “worked 12 hours a day” or something like that. What I remember most is that their accounting of their work included their time at the gym, at least one meal, and something else that few if any employers would consider “working time”.
I agree that sometimes C-suite execs do work long hours sometimes, and I’ll differ from you in that sometimes those long hours are legitimate and valuable for a company. IMO, it’s not the norm nor is it generally worth the premium that most companies pay for those hours.
Fuckin’ wannabe Muskrat.
Yep. Exactly. Before Elon went full Nazi and during the API riots, he said that he wants reddit to be like X and run like how musk operates it
This dude needs a London smile.
s/London/Glasgow and then we’re talking.
Fuck spez
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.
Whats weird is how bad reddit works in a basic web browser, which is where the app started.
I think that’s intentional, to drive you onto their shitty app.
Fuck off bunker boy.
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.
reddit is mostly managed by AI filters.
This is your brain on capitalism
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.
Turns out there were never all that different
“Hurt people hurt people”? (potential explanaiton, not justification)
WOW A BOSS WANTS PEOPLE TPO WORK HARDER???
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
