Wow, all these ppl on HN making excuses for shtty workplaces. It's like they think the default toxic corporate environment must* be some kind of natural law, and anyone who works at a company that treats its employees with respect is some sheltered little baby who isn't "living in the real world". Often, these are the same people that get pissed when a workplace penalizes someone for some racist or sexist behavior. So, don't make comics that make fun of company or its culture, you deserve to get punished you baby, but do celebrate a Mad Men-style environment ala Activision, because people who complain about say, sexist behavior, are just fragile woke babies. Why should we celebrate asshole bosses? Steve Jobs was an asshole? Ok. But Tim Cook isn't. Sundar Pichai isn't. There's a lot of examples of successful companies with non-asshole CEOs and culture. We shouldn't tolerate this idea that success is somehow correlated with being an asshole CEO who treats employees with total disrespect and that employees need to be kept in a state of terror that they could lose their job at any second due to a capricious CEO on an off day. Maybe it'll take Musk losing his $44b investment before fans stop seeing him as some kind of infallible genius.
