I've never liked the term "Human Resources"
Tech startups love millennials. Tasty, tasty millennials who get
underpaid, overworked, churned up and turned into nourishment for
venture capitalists. Millennials are the Soylent Green of the tech
world.
As each batch gets mashed up, there’s a long line of new hires eager to be made into the next meal for the execs and their billionaire backers, as tech survivor Dan Lyons shows in a scathingly funny new book, “Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble”...
Tech firms basically operate like South African gold-mining
operations, with confident young Tame Impala fans being the bodies
thrown into the pit to break their backs digging up nuggets. All of the
IPO gold, though, goes straight into the pockets of their masters
topside.
At HubSpot, every time another bedraggled would-be “world changer”
hauled his dejected remains out the door, or got fired, the company
would say he or she “graduated.”
