Mark Suster would not approve of your career choices! :) </tongue-in-cheek>

I have no idea who he is, and a quick Googling didn't help much.

he's a ceo type who attacked "job hoppers" as the worst kind of employees / "never hire them". this ties into the incident with calacanis labeling a gen-y ex-employee who had the audacity to quit his job a "flake"/"trophy kid".

i genuinely hate suster and calacanis. they're a big part of what makes me want to leave this fucking industry.

So stop reading them. That's the easiest way out, you get some time back that you can use in more productive ways too, and you lose absolutely nothing.

i should have added "and their type". a type i can't seem to avoid in my professional life.

confronting their mentality (by reading what they write, by reading what others write about what they write) feels productive. more productive than cultivating a kind of detachment towards 50+ hours of every week of my life.

but maybe it isn't - i'll give this a try. thanks.

Nice that you "genuinely hate me" given that you don't even know me. Very easily to "hate" people online you've never met. Harder in person where we don't easily fit some stereotype you have in your mind.
