    "Whenever I'm in town, I carve out two hours to have a family dinner" doesn't exactly scream healthy balance. I suspect that it's mostly off-work time that "will always have to give".

    This very much reminds me of the saying that roughly goes "in the end, the only people who remember you working late are your kids/partner".

    Shoutout to all the CEOs out there putting people through the wringer so they can be billionaires. I’ll literally never take an Uber because of what this guy just said.

      Their pay bands aren't too bad, you've made your own million in not too long, or else lived the high life.

        ...and sell out everyone else in the process? Nah. Hard pass. You're part of the problem. Without people like you playing the arbitrage game, they'd have no co-conspirators to prop up their socio/psychopathic behaviors. They'd have to renormalize. The rest of us may suffer, but you're the one damning yourself and everyone else by being receptive to the manipulation and saying "yes" instead of "no".

        Leave these people to muddle their way forward with their hallucinating sycophant machines. Let them turn their large fortunes built on our backs into small ones as the inability of their models to adapt decays, leading them only to madness.

        Or, keep doing what you're doing. Trade comfort now for the suffering of your loved one's later. Your choice. Either way, know mine.

          I don't work there, my ethics forbid it. Mostly because of their business attitude and history. Turned down an offer during the Travis years.

          What does Uber have to do with hallucinating sycophant machines?
