Lame. 2011 called and wants its entrepreneurial war stories back. Stories with "suffering" and "struggle" where all in the employees are "all in", but not sharing the profits of course, oh and you can be cut or fired anytime, while your out of touch CEO/founder is having the time of his life.
I think I have grown an internal immunity from this bs. (Or maybe I am just older and more mature now).
Agreed. That's what I was thinking as I was reading through his diatribe. Asking me to live and breathe the job is all good but if I'm not getting to share in the rewards the same as you then you're really just asking me to be your slave and make you rich. I wonder what their compensation/equity structure is.
Phew. Thanks guys. I am not in US, not even in proper Europe, so I was wondering if this is somewhat common for 'startups'. Comments (edit: comments here on HN) say the right thing.
'Share my enthusiasm but not my profit' and even worse 'write me an essay about that' is more fitting to north corea way of behaving.
This is not the way to keep quality people for long.
