You spend 40 hours a week making someone else's dream happen.
You get paid just enough to come back Monday.
That's not a job. That's a subscription.
And you're the product.
Company #1: The Corporate Catastrophe
50+ people. Millions spent.
Meetings about meetings. 7 approvals per decision. 14 meetings per feature.
"We're 70% done" for 6 months straight.
Products shipped: 0.
Company #2: The "Lean" Startup
7 people. ClickUp. Daily standups. "Agile."
It took 2 weeks to change 3 words.
"Start Free Trial" → "Get Started Now."
$700k + 14 months later — complete failure.
