Same experience in England. There is little celebration of business success and more likely accusations of exploitation.
The class system is also alive and well in business - the ambition of many well off uni students is to manage others. Grinding on a startup doesn't fulfil that class ambition
- gambiting 2y agoExactly - if you are doing well as a business, then it must be because you screwed someone over, and in general you're a bastard for making people work for you and make you money, like how dare you.
- switch007 2y agoLet's not pretend there is not actual exploitation and "exploitation". The question is rather perhaps whether it's reasonable and justified given the huge amount of laws and regulations. A typical small business owner will prey on the naivety of younger employees particularly around HR law. No business owner will be 100% truthful with their customers (ie they engage in some form of marketing). I have not worked a single job where this was not the case. It's celebrated here and called "growth hacking" All of that is done for the gain of the owner, not solely so that they may enrich the lives of their employees
