What?

Steve Job’s “toys” has garnered Apple a market cap of $825 Billion. I dig toys.

Steve Jobs made billions beyond Musk’s billions. That’s what he made.

Yeah: 12 years of working together gives a PA a ton of insight into how the top banana likes to do things.

A 3 week experiment to see the value of someone’s work output is shitty science. In the short term, other people may be able to take up the slack. But you may not see longer term costs in terms of misscheduled appointments, small annoyances that build up over time, miscommunications that didn’t have to happen, etc.

Her job no longer exists because she had the temerity to ask for a raise.

Elon, as intelligent and skilled as he is, didn’t realize her lack of utility in the prior 12 years that she worked for him (and did so in a capacity that she wasn’t fired for the myriad of reasons that an assistant would be fired, the most…

Yeah, that’s definitely how managing people works!!!

I think it still deserves scorn (some more context, like what she made and what she asked for, her duties, etc. would be nice, but I doubt we’ll get that info). Being an asshole engineer doesn’t mean it’s all forgiven when he treats people like an asshole. It just means we know why he’s acting like an asshole

He’s a CEO, though. Once you get to a C-level job, you’re supposed to be able to handle the human side of your company with more tact than this.

Two words: Warren Buffet.

He didn’t say no when she asked for a raise. He fired her. That’s not normal.

You can be highly educated and good at some things and still be pretty stupid.

Everyone is focusing on the manifesto itself, but come on. What do you think it was like working with this guy? He was willing to put in the effort to write out those 10 pages. Surely, he acted on his beliefs.

The Google screed-writer’s intentions are different because they are built from widely discredited pseudoscience, and demanding that they be given equal weight with “women are as capable as men” is ludicrous. The debate he wants was already had, and lost, and its losers refuse to admit that or educate themselves.

Yep, which is why blind hiring is such a boon, but white dudes haaaate it when they can’t tell who is a white dude thus the proper choice properly see if candidates will fit. Like, multiple studies show that if you get rid of obvious tells of someone’s race or gender, suddenly women and visible minorities are getting…

This is pure techbro. White dudes who think they got there on merit alone (lawl) and are trying to post-justify it, like they post-justify women and minorities being less competent. Bringing up IQ pretty much seals it.

Riiiight. That’s what’s wrong today: too much empathy. I empathize with his frustration over... wait. Wut?

Not to mention all the departures from reason and facts that his gut-driven manifesto is built on

• I’ve heard several calls for increased empathy on diversity issues. While I strongly support trying to understand how and why people think the way they do, relying on affective empathy—feeling another’s pain‚causes us to focus on anecdotes, favor individuals similar to us, and harbor other irrational and dangerous…

TL;DR: Cocaine may induce manic episodes (including rambling manifestos) with delusions of grandeur.
