I just find the glorifying of answering emails at 1am on a a Sunday a little crazy, that's all.
- rm_-rf_slash 10y agoIt's the glorification by the people making 8 figures that gets the people making 5-6 figures to do it too. The profits flow to the top.
- pavlov 10y agoIt's the kind of thing that a CEO in a startup will often do because he/she cares and has an overwhelming personal involvement in the company. (I once was in that position for a tiny company of a handful of people, and I would write emails at 1:00 on Saturday night.) It's rare to see that carried over into a tech giant. I imagine Larry Ellison does something rather different at that point of his weekend than responding to individual worker bees' concerns.
- forgetsusername 10y agoI think you underestimate how hard a guy like Larry Ellison works.
- Mendenhall 10y agoI could completely understand that feeling. Right now im nowhere near her scale but I answer emails at 1 am on a sunday. For me now it is just how I am wired, I want to do it. I also see a difference between being a ceo/owner and "working". I can make decissions all day and answer questions, to me it doesnt feel like work. Now to sit down and design\illustrate for 15 hours straight every day forget it, I burn out. Its like no one who does hard physical labor for 10-12hours a day answers emails at 1 am on sunday lol. For me there is a difference in the "work" being done.
