Three Paths in the Tech Industry: Founder, Executive, or Employee

I actually find "founder" is the route most scumbags take. Most of the ones I encounter take credit for other people's work and contribute little value. They also do a great job spending other people's money.

Next would be Employees. Jeez, those guys are the worst. Always thinking the ship will sink without them. If only the executives would listen to them the company would be on the right path.

Get off your high horse. You look foolish to all of us executives.

Founder is an employee, whose executives wouldn't listen to them.

I can see how it could be easier for you to "tune out", but from the Wozniak's mouse to Nokia smartphone presentations, your smirk is actually exactly correct: Employees make or break the firm. The ship will sink without them. Executives do not sufficiently listen to their employees.
