My Year in Startup Hell
- holografix 11y agoWhat a thoroughly fascinating article, how refreshing to read about a startup where the writer has no obvious interest in working there and knows no other startup will ever hire him again! For once we get honesty and transparency! Also a really interesting insight into the dynamics of gen X getting a job in a gen Y led company. He honestly thinks the gen Yers "eat up" the indoctrination. In my experience no one thinks they're changing the world, no matter how much cold cool-aid they get served. It's much more about gen Ys sense of entitlement stemming from tech representing such a large part of the western economy. No gen Y wants to get paid peanuts, while being told what to do by a gen X that can't understand a VLookup. It's an adolescent arrogance that goes into young adulthood. Interesting move with not signing whatever legal docs that allowed him to write a book and trash hubspot. A gen X firm would never overlook that.
