The article lumps few different scenarios under the sensationalist "look, ppl are making shit ton of $$$ and are barely working!!!" umbrella. None of the scenarios are unique to SV or even IT world in general, the only "shock factor" is the compensation figures. But again, most of the scenarios are pretty typical to corporate environments. Unless you're on some "kick ass all-star" team, once you start growing you can cruise if you choose to. What struck me as odd is the "Just don’t talk about it and everyone will assume you're on someone else’s team" bit. Can't really picture an environment where a person doesn't show up the next day and everyone just "assumes" they are on a different team now...
