On: Is effort a myth?

I've observed that people who work minimum wage (or close to it) work a heck of a lot harder than the rest of us.

I've observed that people who have a stake in the profits (or close to it) work a heck of a lot harder than the rest of us.

Until they realize there are no profits. Then they don't work at all. Especially if just as they're getting close to profits, a new "adult" CEO is brought on board at 5x the salary that the people "close" to the profits were being paid, and breaking even gets pushed 5 years (and 2 rounds of dilution) into the future.

Yeah, that would suck.

Which suggests that they're doing it wrong....
