    Currently work for a CEO who has had a team of childcare workers for his five kids, and a private doctor and private cook.

    He frequently would tell employees to find time to go rock climbing and take vacations to recharge like how he does, even while running a multi billion dollar company.

        Yes, I do the bare minimum to not get fired. That is why I am on lemmy in the work day.

      Ugh my last company the CEO and C-suite constantly bragged about their new boats, planes, and trucks all while massively underpaying me. it was a small company so unfortunately I was up close and personal with them. I remember the CEO once commented that I was skipping out early because I was leaving at 6pm. I had a 2 hour commute to get there.

      They were surprised I quit but the next company offered me 50% more than what I was getting there and a signing bonus and company stock. That company gave me bupkiss. And they weren’t even letting me do the job I was hired for putting me in low level software development roles. A new guy came and they immediately put him in the role I was supposed to do. The CEO had the audacity to act like I was ungrateful that they hired me. Bitch I had a Masters in Comp Eng with a 4.0 GPA and internships up the wazoo.

      So glad I left after only 6 months. I’m sure my current CEO/C-Suite are just as bad but it’s a bigger company so I never have to see them.
