Why would one post something like this publicly? Don't burn your bridges and all that.

I swear, sometimes it seems like HN lives in this weird alternate universe where the rules of normal jobs don't apply....

It's fine if people want more money for less hours and less responsibility - but they'll be competing with those who are willing to work more hours and take on more responsibility for more money. If you were the employer, who would you hire?



I had been debating on whether or not I should post this, for this very reason.

However, I think it speaks more volumes about me and who I want to work with, if I do.

I might not be as rich as Jason Calacanis just yet, but I do have beliefs.

Why should Jason be able to say anything he wants, and not be publicly criticized for them?

If he doesn't want to do business with me, then that's fine by me.

If someone doesn't want to do business with me because I said I would never work for him, or do business with him, then that tells me more about that person - than it does me.
