Nvidia’s employees are suddenly so rich and happy that the company’s got a ‘semi retirement’ problem, insiders say::undefined

Eh. Sounds like it could be very toxic, or just whiny worker bees, we can’t tell from the outside.
If the senior folk are basically tenured and produce very little while still holding the reins and preventing upwards movement of the high performers, that’s toxic. Basically a rug pull because they got theirs and limit the opportunities for the next generation.
It’s also entirely likely that they’re doing the work at a level that doesn’t include implementing the actual day to day, but the low level workers don’t see it, so make bad assumptions.
Who the fuck knows what the reality is.
Sometimes it’s really valuable to have a greybeard with no fear for their job who just stops everyone from making stupid decisions that they’re too in the weeds to appreciate. Hopefully they’re one of the funny ones, and not one who condescends everybody constantly.
What if they’re condescending, but in a really funny way?
It’s ok if they buy lunch for the juniors every one in a while.
Gratified to hear I was already doing the needful.
Rest n vest is a problem at most of the major US tech companies.
You mean the companies with more money than most countries? Yeah I’m sure they’re really struggling to get enough work out of employees.
At a corporate level I agree, I could not give less of a shit.
At a peer level, it sucks, like it would at any job where a team member is dead weight.
Huh, maybe I should get back in touch with my colleague who was trying to get me to join him at nVidia.
When Panera doesn’t pay their employees enough, it’s hard to motivate people. When Nvidia pays their employees a lot, it’s hard to motivate people.
If we have to pick one, pick the one that allows you to hire basically anyone you want, and hire new people who are motivated.
