Bill Gates Regrets Working Too Much

BillG is now saying that WLB is important. This coming from a dipshit who popularized using stack ranking with a forced curve for perf reviews which forced employees to compete with each other. This created an incredibly toxic culture where employees were in constant fear for their jobs. The hypocrisy of this clown is beyond belief. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bill-gates-full-regret-missed-213034209.html #techcareer #wlb

Bill Gates is full of regret about missed vacations and broken relationships in commencement speech: ‘You are not a slacker if you cut yourself some slack’

Random life coach twitter celebrity after having 8 digit net worth starting from zero by putting insane number of hours for 20 years and lives in a mansion: > follow your passion, spend your time wisely, money isn’t everything.

Meta OXVP04 May 22, 2023

makes sense no? he made a mistake, now he is facing the consequence and sharing with others? most people here are still amazed by 8 digit net worth, working insane hours and living in masion, he's telling them those things don't matter as much once you achieve them.

Fix Azure's WLB first and then we can talk. Don't ever let a manager say we put new hires under stress to speed up their ramp up.

I worked in Azure several years ago. It was the worst experience in my entire career. Horrible abusive managers, backstabbing teammates and zero WLB.

Stack Rank (Yank & Rank) was a Jack Welch invention. Gates was just the copy cat

VMware mX5A78R OP May 21, 2023

You are right but MS adopted it wholeheartedly decades ago. It was the first tech company I worked at which used stack ranking for perf reviews.

Thank you for mentioning stupid Welch. Kids need to read up on that massively popular and massively stupid failure.

If there were ever a person who needed a pie in the face

Apple toeH14 May 21, 2023

Didn’t he actually get a pie on the face once? Lol

Qualtrics 🤡TheMorans May 21, 2023

Whatever the number it’s one too few

Goldman Sachs U1f63rht May 21, 2023

he stepped down like 20 yrs ago so seems like pretty good WLB

Microsoft 📎 ChatNvnt May 21, 2023

You misunderstand. He doesn’t think the help needs more vacations. He needed more trips to islands, etc.

Attentive tristate23 May 22, 2023

He is the real island boy

Meta bandbox May 28, 2023

One particular island. Or two

Stripe Charlie3 May 21, 2023

He wish he had more time on Epstein island… get back to work fellow pheasants

USAA wtflnkrec May 21, 2023

He made his Billis (pun intended). Now he can say any shit he wants

Oscar bPo7 May 21, 2023

Well if he didn’t show up at work he wouldn’t have his affair with a subordinate right? Hmmm
