"CEOs should be willing to impale themselves on spikes, electrocute themselves, throw themselves into the path of a train, throw themselves off an overpass during rush hour, climb into a woodchipper, die from a freak gardening accident, drink a gallon of bleach - willing to do anything."

All that’s missing is “bosses are allowed to beat or kill you” and she’s describing slavery.
Most of history slaves had more rights than that.
USA was just expectional fringe case on slavery.
(And because it needs to be said: everything that's even close to slavery is morally and ethically bankrupt. I'm mentioning this because popculture re: "slave culture in USA" actually lowers the expectations of moral rights even after the fact.)

Squarespace is theft
@WildEyedBoyFromFreecloud @owner
It's effort.
Anyone born this awful would frighten their mother into thinking they birthed the Antichrist.
"You should give away work for free while your parents support you. This is the path to success." Says the chief marketing officer of a company I've never heard of.
@johntimaeus @owner IMO, they're best-known for buying Google Domains.
Like...the whole business unit. 😑
@owner what
... what
@owner web.archive has
"Squarespace’s CMO cold-called firms in the phone book to land her first role—and says Gen Z must be ‘willing to do anything’ to get a job" from the 20th,
"Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO" from the 21st
and
"Gen Z job seekers should be ‘willing to do anything’—any hours, any pay, any type of job, says Squarespace CMO" from the 22nd.
They changed it twice.

This reminds me, I need to transfer my domains away from them.
@owner
for free?
Typical entitled management class, always pushing for more, always demanding something for nothing.
If it's unpaid then how is it even a job?
@owner Somewhere between the grindset mindset and boomer bootstrapping, there's this opinion. If you can afford to work for nothing then sure, go do your cold-calling for a resume filling role but the hustling life isn't for most.

Out of gratitude for their hardworking employees, without which they would be nothing, all corporate executives should be willing to "do anything", forgo executive salaries and benefits, and not make any more than the lowest paid wage worker at their companies.

Accounts of racism, sexism and discrimination are unfortunately way too common in the tech industry. The latest comes from Amélie Lamont, a black woman and former employee at website creation company Squarespace, who was fired after slapping a co-worker at a bar. Lamont was a customer care supervisor at Squarespace from September 2011 through February 2014. Squarespace, founded in 2004, has raised $78.5 million in funding from investors like Accel Partners, Index Ventures and General Atlantic.
