@steven: Co-founder of LinkedIn Reid Hoffman gives his opinion on work-life balance and why he doesn’t agree with it when you’re building a start-up 👀 #podcast #podcastclips #work #company #business #founder #linkedin #truth #reidhoffman #startup #businesstok #interview #diaryofaceo #opinion #entrepreneur
He’s not talking about working at a normal 9-5 job. He’s talking about a startup. If you’re building something for scratch you HAVE to be constantly working at it

work life balance doesn't exist in Startups, not everyone belongs in Startups. You are competing with people who work 24x7 - you will lose.

It’s toxic when the company is now a multibillion public company but the executives still expect you to work like they did when they founded the company

I don't think he's toxic. As someone who has worked in a startup, I love the adrenaline that comes with it. The startup environment is not for everyone.

This is not the take. Lots of startups now are doing just fine allowing people to have lives.

It’s not necessary that startup means no work life balance. That’s completely wrong.

As long as those workers have equity. Workers no longer get equity.

If you get in at the ground floor of a startup, where the startups success is YOUR success, then yeah, dig deep and sacrifice the life balance because that will come later.

Without incentive it is nothing. You cannot expect an employee to put up the same dedication as a ceo or founder

The issue is he expects that from people with no equity

It’s all about expectations and communication. If my employer expects me to work like that and explicitly says so and I take the job and don’t do it, that’s on me for making a bad decision.

This episode is just one bit red flag isn't it. I own 2 successful businesses, and everyone in them (including myself) prioritise family life.

Depends who benefits from it. If the owner benefits from my free labour when at home, then drop me out, if we all gain because there is some sort of shares involved, then go for it..
