I remember specifically having my first meeting with a Director of a large account at my last job. I was really excited by it and was rattling off a list of ideas and tactics and strategies for how we could open the account. His face turned

Right now I am starting my own. I generally gravitate towards the most autistic market niches imaginable. Usually areas which combine multiple autistic topics together that attract the weirdest people imaginable.

Thank you. I am extremely empathetic and honest. Most middle management at most companies optimizes for non-creative yet industrious which turns highly competitive over pettiness. I just can’t see myself doing it anymore. Especially after w

Yes, I am annoying and that’s why they hate me. :) You are correct. And also my output is 20x higher than theirs.

I spent more than a decade being suicidally depressed. I only learned about Aspergers way later in life due to YouTube and realized it explained everything about my problems and alienation. From some of the coaches on YouTube, they talk abo

I personally hit a wall a long time ago and only started making progress when I began to hire coaches to offer neutral 3rd party feedback and are incentivized to actually help you. My experience is most people in highly competitive environm

I left a job where I tried my hardest to make it work. The last few jobs in a row I entered with a specific, singular objective: “I vow I am not going to get into conflicts with people again.” I try my hardest, and it doesn’t work. A big pr

The books that have helped me the most have been about office politics and how and why people get jealous and who does well and why. The best book I ever read was “stealing the corner office.” I know people who are naturally intuitive and e

Before this comment section fills with people self diagnosing themselves as geniuses: I feel this. This post is going to sound pedantic and annoying because … that is what Aspergers does to you. I can write dozens of pages of highly analyti

If I mentioned the company, and you would recognize it, you would understand the catastrophic non performance of this company for a decade. All the old management are still in place despite several ceo changes and it has become the poster c

I personally have known several people. They are not narcissists. They are literally 100x talent. One of them built out a half dozen hit games, doing all the art and programming for one employer which represented half the companies profit.

Corporations, at their root, are an arbitrage on the fact that other corporations follow the bell curve. The entire goal of salaries and “teams” in my experience, is to ENSURE that high performers get diluted and averaged in with mediocre p

Honestly, It sounds like you are coming in and wanting to create a lot of extra work for everyone. I have dealt with engineers like this before. You want to follow every single best practice, create automated testing and do everything “righ

These people are awful. I had similar happen to me. You spend tons of time organizing something, and they show up and start complaining because it’s not diverse enough and by implication you (the organizer) are “the problem.” I snapped on s

This is not a good article. The smartest people I know are saying that the FOMC decided to pause and that means the recession is locked in. When they are done hiking it means they will next slowly start to unwind. Or rapidly unwind and star

My opinion is DEI hires are way out of whack with the market. Low skilled / low talent in many cases and lower competence but in a ZIRP environment I saw so many situations where women and minorities were hired and given leadership rol

I have been interviewing. Everyone is confused right now. Hiring companies are confused. Recruits are confused. My opinion is we are at a severe dislocation period. I have noticed massive changes in the emerging skills, tools and platforms.

Take a look around dude. Interest rates are very high making the funding environment rough and it effects everything. There is far less liquid capital because borrowing is so expensive, it is set by the central banks. When the money is expe
