  Oh man, I had a boss once that was really into dropshipping back in ~2017. He kept it professional at work, but once over beers he got on to how he was making all this money with dropshipping and how it was this great idea. Never pressured us into it or anything, thank god. I had previously thought that the guy was somewhat smart and had it together. After that, I never looked at anything he did the same way again. The nice clothes and car? Yeah, no way he wasn't doing all that on a load of debt. That said, all his up-to-date management-speak and being 'with-it' when it came to the latest corporate craze, well, I hate to admit it, but it made him a better boss. He was at least trying really hard. Were a lot of the methods just hot air? Yeah, of course. But it was a lot better than a boss that actually thought that they knew what they were doing. My boss just pretended but was otherwise terrified of being left out, and at least he was hungry that way. Still, after he boasted about his dropshipping business, I knew the guy was mostly hot air and his ventures would change with the wind. I'm glad that particular get rich quick scheme is (mostly) over.
