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.
Every “famous leader” ; if you want to know a good company, look at ones which didn’t have famous leaders or did have leaders notorious for not being famous. DEC, Sun. IBM, after all, though not as cool.
Winning by whose definition?
His line going up.

Amen brother
shut the fuck up dude lmao you are so sad
^words of a not-sad human being.
Not committed to him winning. Fuck that shit.
Lol dumbfuck.
This man is a sociopath. He shouldn’t be running a major corporation. He should be living in a rubber room.
Yeah Okay Grant Cardone…
A STRANGE GAME THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS NOT TO PLAYHow about a nice game of chess?
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

I am not committed to winning. That’s a good thing. I’m committed to living a decent life.
“Reid Hoffman has a reality check for entrepreneurs: if you’re serious about starting a company, you should say goodbye to binge-watching your favorite Netflix show after dinner or sleeping in on the weekends—you need to be on the work grind all hours of the day.”
You’re clearly not committed to reading articles either. “It’s a headline, it must be about me. Let me make sure I share my opinion without reading the article!”
Opinions based on false perceptions when the truth is 20seconds of discovery away, is just willful and lazy ignorance. Thats not just a red flag, thats also red hat behavior. You can do better than that if you want to.
Exactly. Thanks for putting it so clearly.
Some might say that is winning.
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.
Wow what a mind blowing revelation dude you must be so smart
Maybe companies shouldn’t be allowed a perspective unless they’re worker owned. Case closed! --oh wait, the profiteers need slaves for their yachts.
that sounds like a good way to get independent contractors to be used by more companies.
Labor regulation? Never heardofer
If I’m devoted to winning, that means I want to win myself. If I don’t profit from the company’s success outside of being allowed to keep my job, increasing the company’s bottom line isn’t a “win” for me. That’s not a matter of perspective.
