This right here is exactly the kind of manipulation that's causing my generation to quit corpo jobs in record numbers.

It's BS and everyone knows it. Those quiet exceptions aren't as quiet as you would believe. We all see it. And we all understand what's happening.

Naval Ravikant was right. It's best to play long term games with long term people and have zero tolerance for anything less than 100% integrity.

What Naval was talking[0] about is that you start to know whom to trust when playing the long game, and people start to trust you in return. Which is exactly what causes those quiet exceptions to be handed out.

While it does not seem to be ‘fair’, this is how long term game actually looks like.
