Every once in a while I hear people claiming how sexy cool it is to work in a tech startup, as opposed to how bad it’s like in a corporation. The mere word “corporation” now has a negative connotation. You simply close your eyes and picture thousands of profoundly unhappy people working on mundane, repetitive tasks, overworked against their will, forced to only live after work and on weekends. At the other end of the spectrum there are the people in tech: mission-driven, passionate, always smiling, working relentlessly to change the world, all while relaxing in their special-designated areas and playing in their game rooms. Ok, let’s stop the charade now.
