Never seen it all the way thru, Ive only ever seen an episode or two here or there, I think I've seen the first episode like 6 times.

So, ya know, congratulations. Your influence. Your legacy.

girrrrrrl oh my god ok so the background is that the company I work for has partnered with this startup for the last 9 months or so where the deal is that we’re getting their product for free because it’s in development, and has a lot of problems, and in exchange the startup gets our team’s feedback and direction for how an actual, established company would like to use their product.

The juice:

- Startup CEO lives next door to our president, which is why they got connected to the company

- On a personal level, SC is sooooo smarmy. He loves to flatter people and like the number one reason he definitely knows I don’t like him is that I don’t respond to his flattery at all. God he’s so slimy

- he’s always eating on calls. Disrespectful and gross to listen to. Feels like he’s trying to, like, play high status or something

- He bragged about creating [well known product]. Looked it up. He was a VP (<- not a role which actually creates product)

- He bragged about selling [previous startup] for a billion dollars (<- cap. I looked it up and the amount was undisclosed, but would bet my life he did not fucking make a billion dollars. Anyways he’s the type of person who thinks it’s cool to be a billionaire)

- He said he started this company because he “got bored of racing yachts in Monaco” (<- first off incredibly tasteless to brag about your money like that. Second of all if you had a billion dollars you would find something more interesting and worthwhile to do than race yachts or found another goddamn tech startup. You would not be on calls with me. I’m nobody. Go rub shoulders with Elon Musk. )

- we were talking about Christmas plans and all of us were like “nothing much,” or “travelling to see family” and he started talking about going skiing in the alps with our CFO.

- again, he wants to be paid a percentage of our revenue. Imagine if your company paid Microsoft 3% of its revenue because it would be so much harder to do business without an Outlook email address. Ridiculous.

- he can’t stop name dropping oh my god who carrrrrrrres

:P
