Stupid kids with big mouths. STFU kid.
GenZ is saying the quiet part out loud. This isn’t a new thing, wind back the clock a few years and 50% of the time at an office job was talking to coworkers, lunch, smoke breaks, etc. The other 50% was split between looking busy and actually working. Also, openly admitting to working in his startup “during his shift.” Big brain move on that one. Probably not going to be an issue but some salty employer might come after you and good luck fighting a fleet of $800/hr lawyers.
You can cut out the looking busy with remote
I don't know... seems like with majority remote teams, people are actually spending even more time appearing to look busy. Because now that you're out of sight / out of mind, people are stepping up on the "online collaboration" to compensate.
Wtf...next round of layoff incoming.. 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
"He said he coded in the morning and spent the rest of his shift working on his startup." - Google SWE code in shifts 🙈
This is just another propaganda hit piece against tech workers. I’ve see this article before, so let me say it again: you cannot measure the value of a salary worker in hours worked, but in output. If this young man can finish his work in hour, then good on him. In this economy, I would rather get paid to do one hour of work than suffer as a tradesman or retail/restaurant worker again. TC: 105K
Best take here. Devon could very well be more productive than some VP that only makes wrong decisions all day from his yacht.
If you do quick work, you're just given more work.
Devon will be working on his startup in the unemployment line next
So many live stream or post videos of themselves committing crimes so this doesn’t surprise me. Self snitching is a huge problem with Gen Z.
They don’t see it that way. They’re doing it for “clout”
