This is not groundbreaking to read, but it reminds me how some people are detached from reality. They think they are bulletproof, they bring so much value they can't be replaced. Usually this can be true only in very few situations like for top salesman operatives or for genius programmers. People that are as rare as it goes.
Marketing, management, administration - those folks are usually replecable.
- privateersman 10y agoI think it's partly a side effect of modern education techniques (and TV), which conditions people to think that they are special. It's a gulf between educators and employers that results in a shock when reality sets in. Confidence is good, but thinking that the world revolves around you is bad... unless you are calling the shots.
- crispyambulance 10y agoEvery employee is "replaceable" at some point in time. I get the sense from his writing that Noah Kagan is a smart capable guy with a provocative demeanor that gets him into trouble from time to time. So he made a bad decision and as a result may have lost out on a big pile of money. But he seems to be doing fine and has accumulated more than a couple epic cocktail party stories. Thats a smashing success in my book.
