They all panicked after 2020 during covid.

Everyone is forced to do remote work during the lockdown. Then, the culture stuck.

Some founders start noticing deliquency. "We need to get everyone back in the office!" they cried.

"We have to rebuild our culture!" I agreed with them.

Loudly. In every interview and at every conference.

I wrote op-eds about the "magic of in-person collaboration."

I warned them about the silent disease of "culture rot."

This other day, I was arguing with this Boomer in my comments.

He lectured me in my DMs. Told me I don't know what "hard work" is.

I dont think he understands.

I was arguing with a entitled zoomer.

Says life is tough for them. Can't afford house, kids.

Then, he spends all money on avocado, Gucci, holidays, and OF

I don't think he understands.

He thinks he's the first person to ever face a struggle.

I've been working 9-5 for a corporate. I drive 4 hours a day to get to my office

For forty years, I didn't "work." I survived.

I have a $1M problem I urgently need to solve.

"Why not make it a take-home interview assignment?" my intern asked.

"The person who gets to solve it would get hired to the office to build it."

I had a flash of insight. My intern is a god damn genius.

Then, we posted a job ad for a "Lead Innovation Architect."

Im a humble record label owner with a few billion dollars of royalties under management.

From TikTok, we see this kid who built a really good following. His songs are also vibing.

We DMed him. Told them who we are, then gave him $1M.

He cried. His mother cried. He thinks he's rich.

I dont think he understands.

That check wasn't a gift. It was a loan.
