In a leaked memo, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke put limits on employees having side hustles, saying Shopify requires ‘unshared attention’::Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke discourages employees from side hustles in company memo, saying their jobs require their undivided attention.
Do they pay well?
Former employee from the layoffs in May 23. In my experience yes. Lütkes words here are insane as are many of the other recent headlines from the company, but I can say that the severance packages were extremely generous, in my opinion.
Just checking. So often you hear deadbeat “managers” and exec types or owners bemoaning the lack of focus in their indentured slaves who are basically so poor they are justified in not paying attention…
Yeah, I think that any employee who can get away with not focusing should. It’s a symptom of bad management. If a given job is such that an employee can complete all their tasks in 20h of work, they should do that and it’s on a manager to know that and give them more tasks. “quiet quitting” is a bullshit nothing term.
