> What she is really saying is that she has permission to fail the customers who trusted her.
No she really isn't.
> She is unilaterally demanding the right to betray that trust in order to have both the benefits of success, and also the easy lifestyle of someone who is just a worker bee.
This is baseless. She is giving herself permission to not be wracked with guilt, beat herself up about it endlessly, and put herself through self-imposed torture if she fails. It makes sense not to snowball over and compound your failures by piling on. Nobody is advocating screwing customers over by default.
> This idea that everyone deserves an easy lifestyle, regardless of their position, is one that needs to die.
Kind of extreme?
> Marissa Mayer and her ultra short maternity leaves gets it. This lady does not.
