Been working in this industry for about 30 years, every time there’s a pivot or a gold rush, it’s the same old song and dance from management/ownership/shareholders. There’s a huge difference between a properly motivated and focused team (in my experience, most engineers don’t care about the hours and hardship if it’s balanced with reward, respect, and a reasonable amount of autonomy), and a team suffering under a bunch of dipshit managers/owners/stakeholders who are flinching and trying to push leadership failures, unexpected changes to the business, or just plain bad luck down on workers. It’s insulting, entitled, and exacerbates problems. Acting like a hard ass and you’re the lone sensible adult stuck wrangling insolent children is exactly how you turn a team into insolent children. In this case it’s worse because I don’t think he’s being entirely on the level, that whatever set of things making his asshole pucker is because people aren’t working 60 hours a week in an office. Plus, you know, fuck a guy worth $144B who’s throwing something of a fit that his thralls aren’t tearing themselves apart to make him more money.
