20VC: Why Most AI Investments Will Do Worse than the S&P 500 | Why Early Stage VC is F******* | The Danger of Kamala Harris and Why Trump and Vance are Best | Freedom of Speech, Censorship and Government Control with Eoghan McCabe @ Intercom

I rolled out these new performance management processes where people who didn't fit with the new values I wrote and the values were things like hard work and resilience and a focus on our mission were respectfully moved out.

Is that true? Yeah. Is that true that no one's against hard work? I think so. Many, many employees are against truly hard work. Don't you think so? Have you not met lazy people? Why do you have your value?

There was kind of a meme that started 10 years ago where people would say work smart and not hard. Started to promote ideas like work-life balance. And I think that that's great. There's no objectively right or wrong way to live your life. But if you're trying to do something insanely difficult, it will just require a lot of energy and focus.

There are people out there who think that there are smarter ways to work, that maybe four days a week is better than five, or maybe some version of work-life balance is more productive. I think that that's false. Really fucking hard work cannot be beat. Did people push back on that? Yeah. And on all the things, of course, they did. Yeah. But they were wrong for the company.

And that's totally okay. I guess they push back on some of the tops down way of working, you know, I would dictate values, I would dictate policies, the way professional CEO runs an organization is by consensus. So imagine they want to feel out an opportunity to bring people back to the office. They'll go and they'll poll leaders and staff on their opinions.

And if it's not popular, they won't do it. And so they're stuck in stasis and mediocrity. The way a highly agentic enabled founder who will not apologize does that is simply tell people, we're going to be two days in the office. This is for a good reason. If you're not into it, God bless. Certain people are allergic to that way of working. They want to be part of the communist consensus approach.
