This is the scariest part of the whole article “during a presentation they said took months to prepare.”
This sounds like what I would expect in the federal government or IBM. Not a fast growing startup changing the world.
I hope Ryan can change this part of the culture or they are dead.
- mhb 3y agoDidn't Ryan hire him?
- WisNorCan 3y agoSteve Jobs hired John Sculley III. And then came back to rebuild the company.
- jerglingu 3y agoLines up with the sentiment about Flexport being a tech retirement home
- psunavy03 3y agoPretty provincial attitude probably propagated by some overpaid MAANG bro who doesn't realize that there's an entire industry of tech folks out there who aren't making $300K/yr TC. So if you are making that . . . a little humility is in order.
- jerglingu 3y agoI indeed was a former “MAANG bro”, but this is sentiment gleaned from both a cohort of former coworkers who had stints there, along with general Flexporter attitude on Blind (which, for its imperfections and distortions, gives pretty good signal on company morale and culture).
- psunavy03 3y agoI'm saying for what you call a "retirement colony," there are dozens of businesses in which the vast majority of the tech industry actually work. Blind is where spoiled rich people complain about being rich in the wrong way.
- babyshake 3y agoOff topic, but wouldn't MANGA be a better aconym?
- rideontime 3y agoThe problem with that is “manga” is also a japanese word for “comic book,” which could result in some confusion.
- krisoft 3y agoWhy? If they were futzing with the wording of a powerpoint for months that is indeed bad. If they worked hard on getting answers to questions nobody else can answer that can be reasonable. After all one can describe a phd defense as “a presentation which took years to prepare.”
