Believing that success is entirely in your control is great for taking accountability for your life and ridding of the victim mentality.

Unfortunately, it all-too-often ends up with unrecognized overworking, overstimulation, and eventually burnout.

Achieve your goals, but know that your worth is separate from your achievements.

Why We Feel Isolated in a Connected World – The Empty Promise of Social Media
The guiding star of Alderian psychology is that we derive meaning from connection to community1. That we can only feel connection to a community when we are useful in it because we are contributing meaningfully to that community2.

Why don't we feel connected?

Interesting summary of Mr. Beast's "hustle culture" as described by this 36pg new employee's orientation manual.

So far this sounds like a mentally unhealthy place to work but a magnet for high energy, low experience 20-somethings looking to "crush it".

Hustle culture is back in San Francisco: That means six days in the office, at least for employees of hard-charging startup LatchBio. 

In a job description for a senior software engineer, with an annual salary range of $140,000 to $220,000.

No. Just no.

"Hard-charging startup" is just bullshit for working people into the ground with no incentive for them to do so. The only winners of this are the founders if the startup is successful. If things are not going so well, the only losers will be those hard working people when the are laid off with minimal severance.

If you want people to work that hard, you give them a substantial piece of equity in the company as these people are the ones that will be working six days a week building the product.

The San Francisco Standard · This San Francisco startup is mandating an in-person, six-day workweekMore organizations are considering shifting to a four-day workweek. Not necessarily so in Silicon Valley, where startup success is often connected to a rise-and-grind culture.

@actuallyautistic @lifewithtrees @actuallyadhd I think NTs just want you to have ANY answer, because they think being stagnant means going backward. Means you’re a lazy drug addict waste of space. If you’re not constantly moving forward, you’re falling behind. #HustleCulture. If asked at a job, talk about being promoted twice and acquiring new business management skills. Just have answers that sound good, no one expects you follow through on them.

I've been a regular guest on a weekly podcast that streams live on LinkedIn on Fridays. Today's episode had a special guest, David Schlosz, PhD, NCC, LPC on to discuss #hustleculture and #mentalhealth.

My rant/rave this week was 7 Eleven Hot Dog Seltzer and WPP's CEO getting an over £2MM reduction in pay for not hitting revenue targets.
