Compare a graduate, wearing a suit, walking around streets in the summer, trying to get work at any company that will hire him for programming, then any cafe that will just let him serve drinks, and still not get hired. Compare this smart kid, who might have not got a perfect grade due to unforeseen circumstances, smart , intelligent, willing to do anything, for a job that pays $5 an hour in his field. Compare this 21 year old, to another man, who is CEO , of a company, that somehow exists solely to protect the planet, through humanitys good will. Now imagine that 21 year old, not moving to amsterdam, to live in a flat, to do his best for not just his peers, and respect to the company, but for the "good side" of every well meaning, often poor citizen willing to help improve the planet. Imagine this kid saying, nah I rather fly in a jet, that helps destroy the environment, and inconvenience my peers, and cost everyone involved with me and the company just so I can be closer to my garden.
It doesn't come down to whether the CEO train timetable is slightly out of whack. Its literally everything. Some humans exist and grew on a plane of existence so different to the reality of the greater majority, that its often too hard for them to even comprehend it.
I'm not bitter really, I retired young. But I could never bring myself to be that CEO, even now that I have money.
This isn't a humble brag I'm just explaining how alien some peoples lives are, including most of you, with your 6 figure salaries compared to the "norm". Just a friendly reminder. /rant
- whywhywhywhy 2y agoI mean if you dig into any of these "non-profits"/NGOs the behavior seems entirely par for the course and it's more expected that they be filled with people like that.
