'Stone-cold crazy' $1.7b golden parachute for ousted WeWork CEO Adam Neumann
I love how everyone here is pretending that if they did a startup company and got investment this big, they wouldn&#x27;t put in safety measures for themselves. Or even better, not sell their shares at last investment evaluation. Private corps still have shares and he wasn&#x27;t going to let go of voting rights without a few shipping containers worth of money. You really want to pretend you wouldn&#x27;t do the same?<p>Stop hating the player because you&#x27;ll get nowhere. Hate the game and the bullshit religious devotion to these tech companies. Ya&#x27;ll worship these twats one way or another. From the Jobs, Musks, Bezos, Zuckerbergs, ya&#x27;ll worshipped them at one point. The Silicon Valley made the joke about this with the pitches that were &quot;Make the world a better place with...&quot; Then you gasp in surprise when you find out they&#x27;re the same asshole as any other business major.<p>These are all businesses. For profits. Not non-profits. There is zero difference between a ceo&#x2F;founder in SV compared to Rockefeller, Carnegie, JP Morgan, or even Donald Trump. They are all the same money and power hungry folks. Some just have better PR teams and self restraint than others. Better wig makers too.<p>The only stone cold crazy thing going on is that people are surprised.
