I never imagined CEOs kept up with gossip in a large Whatsapp group. Is this how they've all been coordinating RTO mandates?
The fact that CEOs talk to each other has been plainly obvious to me for quite some time. Every single instance of coordination can always be explained away, but the pattern seems rather clear when you take a step back and look at the broader context.
I'm not saying they aren't colluding, because by their behaviors it seems like they are, I'm just saying it is much much harder to prove.
That would be spectacular.
It seriously rubs me the wrong way. The way it surfaced was in a discussion about money. I foolishly admitted I don’t really want much money and if I was exceptionally wealthy, I would have to quit development in order to find ways to use my wealth constructively in my community.
This was a disturbing concept. He relayed anecdotes from the WhatsApp group in which various absurdly wealthy people discuss the need to have more wealth, in some form or another. To him this wasn’t a sign of illness or anything, it was evidence that we all in fact should pursue wealth. Because look, even this billionaire does. Very surreal. Despite that, one of the best bosses I’ve had.
Bing-fucking-o. Now we know where the illegal collusion happens. I’d bet serious money RTO and a whole lot of other more important policies are hashed out in that.
Lest we forget when Steve Jobs was calling people up to hold down salaries.
