At SpaceX, work was taken away from me in case I “might retire or die.”
This is disgusting behavior from SpaceX. It must be even worse for the majority of older people who are more likely to have well established families and &quot;only&quot; want to spend 40 hours of their lives a week working.<p>The fact they had an expert working 10 hours a day 7 days a week apparently was not enough. They have to be in their twenties to get the real &quot;techbro&quot; badge.<p>I have a strong belief that technical skills aren&#x27;t as important as the ability to be a suck-up in most mega-corps. You can easily buy a suck-up offering graduates a six-figure salary. It&#x27;s like VPs are building their own personal armies not to get ousted by the other feudal lords.
