Jason Explains What Happened to Those "Day in My Life in Tech" Videos
00:00:00.000 | You may remember a couple of years ago during peak Zerp,
00:00:02.680 | everybody was doing these day in the life of a tech worker, and
00:00:06.300 | they would show you what it's like to work at LinkedIn or
00:00:09.480 | Microsoft or Google. These companies provided perks because
00:00:13.600 | they recognize that their employees were working on
00:00:15.960 | important things and they were sacrificing. If you have an
00:00:18.280 | employee who is that dedicated, the least you can do is buy them
00:00:21.160 | lunch or dinner. Another generation came into these
00:00:23.560 | companies and cluelessly thought that they were entitled to these
00:00:26.760 | perks simply for having a business card that had the name
00:00:30.280 | Google on it. They showed that they were overpaid and
00:00:33.640 | underworking. It infuriated management at these companies,
00:00:36.720 | they realized that they had created a culture of
00:00:39.280 | entitlement. All those people got laid off hard problems
00:00:42.800 | created strong team members at these companies and those strong
00:00:45.960 | team members solve those problems and created wildly
00:00:48.880 | profitable companies. Those wild profits created massive
00:00:52.240 | entitlement. And now with the layoffs, we're back to strong
00:00:55.600 | team members solving important problems in the world and the
00:00:58.540 | cycle starts anew.
