    Jokes on him: some of the laziest jobs I’ve had were for successful startups.

    Hell, I work for a startup right now and spent the last three hours in my hammock watching YouTube.

    I get paid for results, not time

      Must be nice. I’ve worked for a couple myself, and all I constantly felt like I was being exploited the entire time.

        I’ve worked for a few where I was being exploited. One paid me by letting me keep the laptop they bought me.

        Then some accountant called me and asked if I still had it.

        I said no.

        Luckily as you do this more you learn what to look out for. The one I work for now is pretty great.
