    I’ve only ever been the low person on the tech company totem pole–but it’s certainly an interesting realization that even I could have foreseen many of these issues he’s been having these past few days myself.

    What’s the opposite of imposter syndrome? Because that’s when you have the skills but still feel like you shouldn’t be there.

    What’s it called when you know your skills aren’t great, but you’re also achingly aware you’d do better than that other guy over there?

      I hope more and more people wake up to how generational wealth gives people very significant opportunities compared to coming from a family of no wealth/connections.

      Being rich is far from a measure of merit in out hyper-capitalistic culture and the disparity between what people deserve and what they get is only going to continue getting worse.

      Elon Musk is our new poster boy for absurdly undeserved wealth and there are still far too many who will argue in his defence, from either their position of lucky birth or even from their own delusional poverty.

      True! Most of it should have been common business sense; especially after seeing what happened with Reddit, CEOs should know that no platform is permanent.
