I guess that would make sense to someone with narcissistic or psychopathic personality organization. "All benefits must accrue to me."

MODERATORS
The worst people on Earth are the ones who are constantly obsessing about "winning" every situation, so that makes perfect sense to me.
Achieving a healthy work-life-balance IS winning. That's what the mindless drones don't get.
counter argument: that makes the company lose, whereas the grindset makes the company win.
"The company" i.e. somebody else's money.
its a matter of perspective, to the company having people devoted to it is good, to the employee it's bad.
I worked at LNKD through a good part of its rampup. Jeff Weiner made Linkedin what it was. Reid Hoffman was mostly useless and came along for the ride. His "masters of scale" podcast series was a bit of a joke too, he never had anything to do with anything technical or at scale. He is just stealing credit from his betters.
Classic famous ceo Behavior, same with Jobs / Wozniak.
Explains the insanity you see in LinkedIn posts and comments.
I'm worried that LinkedIn has gotten worse. If it's not an update about a new job or a work anniversary, it's some influencer-type grind-cult post or a "how to do X with specifically our product" kind of advertiser seminar clip (and I don't need more ansible in my life, thanks).
I'm not sure it wasn't ever much better, but I remember otherwise.
Yeah well I don’t believe life is a race, and even if it is it’s rigged so who fucking cares?
I'm only committed to winning in that way if winning means that I am getting a cut of the company profits.
I'm at my salary will reflect the profitability and growth of the company.
Otherwise I'm just another wage slave that you're trying to abuse, and take away my work is rights
Working hard and long hours at the detriment of other things can be a good idea. If you have equity, a stake in the thing you're doing. You could print money. But if you're an employee, there's no such incentive.
This man is a sociopath. He shouldn't be running a major corporation. He should be living in a rubber room.
Weird. I feel like I’m winning when I’m on a long vacation doing something adventurous and I feel like I’m fucking losing when I’m staring at a computer screen in an office.
For real I love it when I'm not at work having fun and living life even if it's just boring and I'm at home just working on some house projects and riding my bike
Well. I don’t usually listen to the opinions of fat fucks. Because they can’t even manage their own lives. As a technically obese man myself. I power lift and have never had a healthy bmi technically. We should be ignored because we suck at our own health.
Amen brother
shut the fuck up dude lmao you are so sad
^words of a not-sad human being.
A STRANGE GAME
THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS NOT TO PLAY
How about a nice game of chess?
Translation: You're not someone we can overwork so easily.
Yeah ...dont fall for this shit
He absolutely has free time and a work and life balance he just wants to take away YOUR life and exploit you
Yeah Okay Grant Cardone..
Winning by whose definition?
His line going up.
If you're not willing to sacrifice your life and happiness for me then what do you think you're doing with your life?
Winning what? Profit for other people?
Anyone who devotes the majority of their life to their job is sort of a loser in my opinion.
Unless it's something they're genuinely passionate about that gives them purpose, it's the saddest thing in the world. I don't think that describes the vast majority of us doing our mundane corporate slave work though.
Agreed. I've met some people who devoted their lives to work in nonprofits or public service who I would definitely not call losers. I wouldn't want to be their spouse, but I admire them.
Lol dumbfuck.
FTAH==F**K THAT ASSHOLE
For me, winning is a job with flexible hours that let's me go home and do some garage work and then cook. I want vacation time and time to see the doctor. I want a good retirement plan and good coverage for the 3 bullshit doctor things... The body doc, the eye doc and the teeth doc. I want a doctor who enjoys work and is not simply seeing me and a thousand other people. I want cheap medicine that is effective. I want free analysis and no copay surprise. i want free hospital stays. I also want free schools k-12 and university for my kids. And I want free vaccines and freedom of speech without fear or retaliation. And I want diversity at my work, I don't wanna be the only black guy! Or the only Chinese or Korean or woman. And I want my job to not make things that hurt people.
This is it. When they forced us back into the office, it was less about afternoon naps and avoiding traffic. It was more about being able to see my dr that closes at 4pm or taking my elderly parents to their appointments. Cooking dinners to avoid takeout and getting ‘me’ time between zoom calls. They took that away from us. Now it’s 9-5 and not a minute more.
"Jeez what a loser"
_- Asshole linkedin co-founder, probably
I'll be joining the Dow people next week when it drops another 68 percent. They say it hurts less if you jump from the fifth floor or higher. But if you go too high like the 20th floor, you could have enough times to freakout. So you gotta find your Happy medium.
We have different definitions of winning. If I never work for an asshole like you ever again, I win.
You're damn fucking right I'm not.
LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman should go eat glass. This is how his likely schedule looks:
8 am: Meetings (optional)
11 am: tax deductible "business" lunch
1 pm: meetings (optional)
6 pm: tax deductible "business" dinner
The rest of the context seems important
for founders and entrepreneurs: if you’re serious about starting a company.
Still not always true. If you start a business in a field that interests you and you like it so much that you want to work on it day and night that is ok imo. But if you work in sth day and night because you want to earn tons of money from it, dominate the sector and drive others out of the business, that is a mental disease.
Guess what kind of boss a person following this bullshit advice would make

Lol dumbass, I'm barely earning my participation trophy.
If I even get a participation trophy, I'll probably skip the ceremony.
