not my diagrams…
From his lips, from the Newspapers, translated…
The hi-tech industries is well known, for the high pays and the benefits for the employees, but, the longer work hours had become the trend of having acute liver failures, and the requirements for the workers to put “work first”, causing a lot of the workers to look glorious on the outside, but that, is a façade.
The cofounder of Facebook, Dustin Moskovitz wrote to Medium, replied to the report from the New York Times and Amazon.
The topics of essay was, “Work Hard, Live Well”, the subtitle was “Amazon is not the only company that burned out its employees, we must break this vicious cycle”. He was truthful stating that “the hi-tech industries destroyed the lives of its workers.” He’d given the example, that how some of the high-tech companies would provide free meals for the workers, it seems like a great benefit, but the company would delay the time for supper to eight thirty in the evenings, so they could keep the employees in the offices, working late; and, there were younger engineers who competed on who can stay up the longest, and felt pride in “continually working for forty-eight hours nonstop, to write the programs”.
Moskovitz believed, that destroying the employees’ personal lives, the companies won’t benefit. He’d used a research conducted by Volkswagen: when the hours of work were reduced, the productivity of the employees became better. He said, “the study clearly showed, that when the work week exceeds to forty or fifty hours, the extra working time would greatly reduce the progress of work, even take away from the work itself.”
Moskovitz attached a photo of himself, as he’d worked for Facebook, back then, he was, chubby. He said, “that, was a great year for Facebook, but for me personally, it was, the WORST year of my life.” Back then, he drank MORE sugary drinks more often than he did water, and oftentimes, he’d gone to work without eating his meals or sleep.
Recalling that time period in his life, the thirty-one-year-old Moskovitz said, “Had Facebook prioritized the lives of the employees first, would it have not been as successful? Actually, we believe, that the progress would be even better, we would have a better leader, as well as more hardworking employees. My panic attacks wouldn’t happen as often, and I wouldn’t hurt my back at age twenty a lot. I’d not get into as many fights with my coworkers, I’d think about my own actions more, and I would be, a whole lot happier too.”
And so, this, is from his experiences of life, and, you all do understand how hard the founders of a company must work, as the company was just set up, right? But, based off of this, Facebook became a huge success, at the expense, of straining out its employees, and that, is not the quality of a company that CARED for the wellbeing of its employees should have at all.
