NNT: FROM THE COMPANY MAN TO THE COMPANIES PERSON - excerpt from Chapter 3 of SITG: Someone who has been employed for a while is giving you the evidence of submission. Evidence of submission is displayed by having gone through years of the ritual of depriving himself of his personal freedom for nine hours every day, punctual arrival at an office, denying himself his own schedule, and not having beaten up anyone. You have an obedient, housebroken dog. Employees are more risk averse, they fear being fired more than contractors do being sued. Even when the employees ceases to be an employee, they will remain diligent. The longer the person stays with a company, the more emotional investment they will have in staying and, when leaving, are guaranteed in doing an “honorable exit”. -From The Company Man to The Companies Person- So if employees lower your tail risk, so do you lower theirs as well. Or at least, that’s what they think you do. At the time of writing, firms stay in the top league by size (the so-called SP500) only about between ten and fifteen years. Companies exit the SP500 through mergers or by shrinking their business, both conditions leading to layoffs. Throughout the twentieth Century, however, expected duration was more than sixty years. Longevity for large firms was greater; people stayed with a large firm for their entire life. There was such a thing as a company man (restricting the gender here is appropriate as company men were almost all men). The company man –which dominated the twentieth Century –is best defined as someone whose identity is impregnated with the stamp the firm wants to give him. He dresses the part, even uses the language the company expects him to have. His social life is so invested in the company that leaving it inflicts a huge penalty, like banishment from Athens under the Ostrakon. Saturday nights, he goes out with other company men and spouses sharing company jokes. In return, the firm has a pact to keep him on the books as long as feasible, that is, until mandatory retirement after which he would go play golf with a comfortable pension, with as partners former co-workers. The system worked when large corporations survived a long time and were perceived to be longer lasting than nation-states. About in the 1990s, people suddenly realized that working as a company man was safe… provided the company stayed around. But the technological revolution that took place in Silicon valley put traditional companies under financial threat. For instance, after the rise of Microsoft and the personal computer, IBM which was the main farm for company men, had to lay off a proportion of its “lifers” who then realized that the low-risk profile of the position wasn’t so much low risk. These people couldn’t find a job elsewhere; they were of no use to anyone outside IBM. Even their sense of humor failed outside of the corporate culture... ---- if you want to learn how to job hop in tech w good offers then: Everyone Can Get a New Job in Tech - all the hacks & how to "play the game" claim early-bird coupon @ rational.school (you can then leverage job experience to become self-employed or just use the funding (salary) from job to Mohnishmaxx & build ur own biz on the side without BS VC dilution, retaining control & freedom :))

Do this, and your next day will be insanely productive.

Exactly

It ain’t about tolerance for uncertainty it’s about gaining from it. Professor @nntaleb: “Wind extinguishes a candle and energizes fire. Likewise with randomness, uncertainty, chaos: you want to use them, not hide from them. You want to be the fire and wish for the wind.” The goal isn’t to endure chaos -> it’s to grow stronger specifically because of it

Almost no one knows what a “supply chain” is. A supply chain is the sequence of steps that happen in the physical world, which are required to produce something and deliver it to the person who uses it. Example: McDonald’s Big Mac in Texas: A. Lettuce 1. Seeds from megacorp 2. Distributed by distributor 3. Delivered to farmer in California 4. Water + sunshine 5. Labor from Mexico 6. Oil from Texas 7. Pipeline to Houston 8. Turns into plastic pellets 9. Pellets melted into foam tray in Arizona 10. Pellets made into plastic wrap 11. Foam trays and wrap shipped to farmer 12. Machines from Iowa wash and package the lettuce 13. Wood from Canada 14. Labor from Mexico 15. Wooden pallets 16. Create pallets of packaged lettuce 17. Trucks made in Mexico pick up packaged lettuce and bring to distributors 18. Distributors bring to McDonalds restaurants 19. Labor assembles B. Beef in Big Mac 1. Bull semen 2. Semen shipped to farms specializing in making new beef cows 3. Grass 4. Milk from Michigan 5. Corn from Iowa 6. Corn processed in Illinois 7. Soybeans from Iowa 8. Soybeans processed in Illinois 9. Feed is packaged in Illinois 10. Shipped to distributor 11. Distributors distribute to farmers or perhaps local feed stores 12. Water more grass 13. Cow carrying truck 14. Kill the cows at a processor 15. All the machines in the processor. Refrigerators. 16. Labor at the processor 17. Again, plastic wraps and foam trays. Wooden pallets, etc. 18. Meat goes to distributors 19. Distributor bring to restaurants 20. Labor assembles at restaurant There are countless things that I’m missing like antibiotics, soaps, where the transportation is made, electricity, gasoline, water, but you get the idea. It’s the sequence of steps in the physical world needed to produce something.

People don't tell you if your fly is down on the street anymore.

It's simple. Charge a high rate/hour, live below your means and don't blow up. All the rest is for people endowed by the gods. But it all starts with a high rate per hour and long hours

The stone weight on the left was commissioned by Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon. Its inscription says it was modeled after weights made by king Shulgi of Ur (on the right), who lived 1500 years before him!
