I always enjoy posts like this. When the comments flow in, you can identify the steadfast obliviousness the urbanites have around how the other 99% of the world approaches work. Just the reactions to a different opinion (which more aligns to one formed outside of silicon valley) illustrate a built-in intolerance to anything resembling reality, difficult as it may be.

What "reality" are you referring to? Statistically speaking, just about everyone who isn't self-employed (and many of those who are) are in it for the money. A boss complaining that their employees have no passion for their job and won't work overtime sounds like an out of touch awful boss regardless if those employees' lack of passion is for a software product, making pizzas, teaching, driving a truck, or whatever.

Are there awful bosses in every industry? Probably. That doesn't mean that has to be "reality" - it just means that such opinions need pushback wherever they're found.
