Unless you are joining as a SVP at least, this idea makes no sense.

Do you realize you're making my point?

It's really hard to make an impact (good/bad) at large firms.

Not true, its very easy to make a bad impact. Your work will almost always generate profit and capital for the company. On the other hand, making a good impact is much harder.

> Your work will almost always generate profit and capital for the company.

Let alone my experience, I have NEVER seen an argument supporting this conclusion. If anything, it's the opposite.

[usednet]

The capitalist mode of production relies on extracting the surplus value of the worker. Simply put, people have jobs because the company makes more money with the worker than without the worker. I have never heard any economist, heterodox or not, claim otherwise.

[caminante]

You're really misusing words based on common meaning.

And your phrasing can't reconcile why "90% of startups fail".

You're making a values judgment that's talking past this thread.

[lostdog]

If you were being sarcastic, then I did not realize, no.

[caminante]

I don't see how me being sarcastic, you'd reach the same conclusion.

There's clearly a miscommunication.
