Uber CEO on culture: expects weekend email replies, will push out non-performers

Shoutout to all the CEOs out there putting people through the wringer so they can be billionaires. I’ll literally never take an Uber because of what this guy just said.

> Even Khosrowshahi sets boundaries around his personal time: Whenever he’s in town, he blocks off two hours to have dinner with his family. > > But just after the meal ends, he’s back to checking his emails at 9:30 p.m., and goes through his inbox again when he wakes up at 5:30 a.m. > > It’s possible to strike some balance while working hard, he insists—but something will always have to give. "Whenever I'm in town, I carve out two hours to have a family dinner" doesn't exactly scream healthy balance. I suspect that it's mostly off-work time that "will always have to give". This very much reminds me of the saying that roughly goes "in the end, the only people who remember you working late are your kids/partner".

Earlier this year a recruiter contacted me about a staff role there. Within minutes of the call they asked if I’d consider senior instead. I decided not to proceed.
