Wayfair CEO Niraj Shah tells employees to ‘work longer hours’ in year-end email::Wayfair CEO Niraj Shah sent a year-end note to employees, suggesting they work longer hours and do better at mixing work with their personal lives.
As a software engineer myself, I am pretty confident that this is not going to have the effect that Shah thinks it will
Work harder work faster!
Work deez nutz
I’m going to be honest. I’ve met quite a few ex Wayfair employes. Working longer isn’t going to solve their problems.
- Wayfare throws so much fucking inventory into the trash, just ask anyone who’s ordered from them. Seriously, everyone who has ordered from Wayfare has a “they fucked up and then sent me 3 couches for free” story.
- The decision making at Wayfare is stupid. I’ve met quite a few ex wayfare or current workers looking to leave, some stuff sounds cool but it’s never really helping the business get better.
Wayfare’s reputation at this point is “shittier than IKEA, and you’ll get the wrong thing”
Last two times I’ve ordered from them, I’ve wound up with extra stuff. I ordered a set of 8 patio cushions and received 12. Ordered a patio set and coffee table and received a whole extra coffee table.
Quality, as you said, isn’t great. IKEA can be a pain to get to (for me), but you know their stuff is designed well.
How is this relevant to the technology community?
I would consider working longer hours if I had a shit load of equity. Consider it. No promises. Otherwise, nah. There’s only ever going to be one 12/22/2023 5:00pm, and I’d rather spend that hanging out with family than making money for someone else.
Clowns who think like this need to fuck all the way off… and, honestly, it’s up to older folk like me to make that clear. Younger folks are going to be fooled or scared into thinking like this and be unable or unwilling to speak up. We who have less pressing concerns need to have their backs.
this is why i save money and spend less, so i can amass wealth until I have “fuck you” money where I can just dip if they start this shit on me.
Save some of your money in Monero. Bitcoin is a Snitchcoin. Once shit hits the fan, Monero is Digital Gold.
Or just save it in actual money instead
That’s what I said. You’re a moron if you think the USD will retain value.
Lol
