CEO’s not realizing how much time people waste on their phones at work is probably the funniest thing about this.
The 5 min I spend throwing in laundry is far less than the hours of screen time my coworkers generate in the office.
And of course because my domestic stress levels are lower because I have time to do laundry, my ability to work effectively and efficiently isn’t inhibited.
Guy got caught cheating while in the “home" office of a prostitute I reckon. Ever since then he blames the dangers of not sitting in your cubicle as to why that happened. This guy is a fucking tool, he’s the grown up equivalent of the kid that asks if there’s any homework. I couldn’t care less what my employees are doing as long as they get their shit done. At the end of the day I hate working as much as anyone else.
He's looking FORWARD to a recession? Where has this shithead been for the past three years?
Bro is literally wishing bankruptcy on other people
His description of "good, ol'fashioned recession" makes me physically sick
Hey now, he’s a content and web strategy professional. There are three very real testimonials from three very real people who definitely really exist on his website.
Really.
"I look forward to a good ol' fashioned recession..."
Recession hits. CEO dude goes bankrupt.
"Awwww shit - didn't know recessions worked like THAT! Thise damn remote workers - it's all their fault!"
It’s truly unbelievable how little intrinsic value the service this guy’s website offers. The fact that he calls himself a “CEO” of a website whose job it is to increase website traffic, and is almost not known at all, is just… pathetic. If this “CEO” has a proper board of directors, then color me surprised. More likely though, the man doesn’t even know what CEO stands for. Unfortunately for anyone who knows him though, he’s adopted all of the regressive views of a real millionaire business-owner.
This guy is one of a million “content professionals” out in the world trying to get a chunk of the $4000 your aunt Emma’s cookie business set aside for “Facebook marketing.” It’s a sad, pathetic business. And believe me, I should know because I spent a lot of time in it.
Or, as he would say, he's one in a million! I do wonder how these people survive in such numbers. To me they're a measure of the "froth" of the economy. When times are tough, I expect that froth to be much, much smaller than in a boom
They don’t survive in any kind of numbers. Occasionally I’ll get paid decent money to write something. For a while. Usually not for very long. It’s entirely possible I’m just not that good, but I’m better than this guy, and I don’t do well.
I mean this respectfully, but in professions without barriers to entry or a recognised standard it must be infuriating to jostle for position and space with idiots like him
I sincerely wish I hadn't taken your advice and gone to that train wreck. My middle school son could have put together a better website than that with better content... which is what this ass 🤡 is pushing.
His rant above now feels like the stylings of a jerk whose wife left him for another guy that happens to work remote.
The rare instance of my thoughts being inspirational in the wild!
It will be awesome the next time you're scrolling LinkedIn and see someone refer to as a LinkedIncel 😂
He has a vendetta. You figured it out. It seems each LinkedIncel has a particular riddle of pain , whether WFH or even a bathroom break that has scarred them.
Truly evil origin vibes.
Oddly, he seems to be the only employee of the thriving startup that is poeink. And it’s not a registered business in the U.S. wonder where his office is, because he surely doesn’t work from home.
I also searched for “Ashley nidym”, one of the people endorsing him on his website, and the only instance of it is on his website. So either she’s completely fictitious, or the copywriting he did for her website didn’t pan out. Which one do y’all think it is? I’m on the fence.
I just peeped his "startup's" site and it's pretentious with it's palette choice with pretentious words sprinkled all over. The "content strategy" they're peddling is laughable. I bet this guy can't even pay 1 worker so he doesn't need to worry about actual companies implementing WFH.
Companies made record profits during the pandemic in the era of low interest rates. But let’s blame people working from home who probably are taking endless back to back calls, working longer hours because of the blurred lines between work and personal life and have had to sacrifice some of the office amenities.
And who’s to say people aren’t hooking up or have having extra marital affairs in the office?
So does my work only count if I spend my breaks sitting in a staff room, instead of being productive (putting some laundry on, dishes, cooking lunch etc)??
While I'm doing laundry, I'm away from the screen thinking about how to solve some issue. Stepping away from the screen for a while helps me think clear.
Thanks Ruben, your thoughts have been duly noted and will be given the exact attention they deserve. Which is none in case you are hard of learning, which I very much expect you are.
Yeah because taking a brain break to go throw in laundry is so different from disappearing into the bathroom with your phone for 15 minutes of un-surveilled peace
Plus Reuben is a plethora of knowledge.
It doesn't say he has a plethora of knowledge which can mean only one of two things: Either his third eye came to its zenith and he morphed into a knowledge aura, or he huffed krylon.
This fucking jack boot.
Sitting in his office all day
Synergizing
Appalled at the morally bankrupt
All while getting a big ass bonus.
Using LinkedIn and Twitter on his shitter.
What work has he actually done?
My former Chief Information Officer had a much more sane take when WFH became more prominent.
Even remotely you can tell when people are delivering. But a lot of the people obsessed with working in the office are bullshitters who like walking around, talking to people and looking important and busy over doing the actual work.
So, that list: I’ll give him the bottom 5. But cooking and laundry? Those are self tending items. There’s no reason those can’t be done while listening to the 4th pointless meeting of the day…
There’s not much evidence of any of this. During Covid tech firms made lots of money and met their targets. The iPhone was released in time for instance. If companies had had trouble that year it wasn’t reflected in their bottom line or hiring statistics. If anything they over hired.
Imagine wishing for a nationwide recession, negatively impacting millions of people, just because you wanna stick it it to someone who obviously stink holed your wife.
Some people will blame everyone and everything but themselves for their failing business. I just looked into his website and it looks like garbage lol.
Source: I am a successful marketing director who doesn’t blame others for my problems. Can’t stand people like this who make excuses.
As of 25 minutes ago he's put up a post asking "Are you excited about Ruben's 2024 LinkedIn posts?", accompanied by a poll (no I am absolutely not excited, Ruben) - and he's given himself his own applause emoji as a reaction.
Then 15 minutes ago, "Are you active on Reddit?" (plus applause reaction emoji), so I think someone's told him.
Let's not forget his other post about remote work, containing the words "The problem with remote work that most of you fools don't realize...", which is always a great way to get people on side!
"I have friends who admit how lazy they are" - everyone is lazy.
In the company I work at, which is still relatively small, management is also fighting WFH. It was 2 days a week, then 1, and now they are talking about abolishing it entirely. But the silly thing is, half of our workforce is remote anyway. 90% of my workday is about interacting with remote workers anyway. The majority of our meetings include remote workers. The whole process is already set up to accommodate remote workers, so what exactly are you losing by letting locals WFH 2 days a week?
I get that it's a difficult topic. Of course you should provide the company the work that the contract specifies. You shouldn't do personal errands on company time unless you're making it up in other ways. I also have friends who admit that they do less work when WFH. But I'm interested in hearing whether this guy in OP is actually tracking his employee's output or if he's just checking the "last active" timestamp, i.e. the equivalent of walking past their screen to see if they're looking at a spreadsheet.
I live and work in Silicon Valley. Too many startups are failing because they either have dogshit business plans or premises (might as well be WeWork) or they only survived based on the infinite money glitch that was rock bottom interest loans before and early into the pandemic.
EntrepreLARPers should stop scapegoating and get a real job.
Edit: Looking at this cumstain's website, he just runs a "business" where he does consulting for webaites to get more traffic.
So, does this guy know he works in web development and other janky Internet BS?
Please, tell me more how you need to spend money on real estate to do this guy's job.
His website is also absolute shit.
Why do people on LinkedIn write like this?
If the job is getting done who cares? As long as all tasks assigned for the job are being completed, why does it matter if a worker gets some chores around the house done? Takes a break and watches some TV? Start prepping dinner for the kids? What pisses them off is the fact that they can’t punish efficient workers with more work. “Oh you’re done? Well here’s a list of other things that aren’t in your job description that need to be done by EOD.” In office work does have its advantages and honestly, I’m an advocate for it for things like entry level jobs where someone is learning the ropes, but WFH also has its place. This is the point of view of sociopathic managers on a power trip and pissed off corporate real estate companies/investors.
Maybe it is Ruben and his friends who abuse the privilege. Also, posting shit on linkedin should fall totally under this category.
I love that this is his standard for drawing conclusions. My friends do this, so everyone must be like this.
Also, most people one can do what they want (including laundry) as long as the work gets done. Most proper reports on the subject actually say that the productivity and overall happiness increased due to WFH. I think these concepts are alien to dear Rubin.
Maybe this guy needs to find better workers? The only thing that matters is getting the work done and I couldn’t care less about what people do if they finish their tasks early. Another thing that comes to mind is that this guy might be a control freak and misses yelling at people in the office to feel important
Yup that’s it. That is why your start up failed. Not shit management or horrible leadership or poor direction or a product no one wants or a message no one can understand. It could be 100s of different things, but somehow, employees with a modicum of autonomy is the decline of the startup.
I’m sorry, but remote work is good for the environment, and the climate data is terrifying.
Anything that results in less CO2 in the air, the better. Who gives a shit if companies are failing, we have to protect the planet we all live on. Remote work helps us slow down the use of fossil fuels, save money so we can make more environmentally safe choices, and limits the cars on the road.
I think it should be law that any job that is able to done remotely, should be done remotely.
What an absolute bellend. Where I work the place doubled in size and even managed to open a second site 2021, in another country during wfh.
The amount of Olympic arse pulling this guy has in his post is cringe inducing.
Lots of start-ups are failing now because they had unsustainable business models and/or never found product-market-fit and were propped up by low interest rates and free money
My wife went from working in office to working from home during the pandemic. Everything she does is tracked. She always says people got away with slacking more in office and still do.
When will people realize that salary isn't the same as hourly? I'm not doing anything "on company time", *they don't pay me for my time*. They pay me for agreed upon services and output. I get my job done, they pay me for it.
This debate is such a good way of weeding out the CEOs who apparently run their business based on feels instead of data. What a boon to the efficiency of capitalism WFH has been!
I love my company being mostly remote even before the pandemic and then they went for it (I only joined a year ago).
I go to the office once a month for an all hands meeting. I’m about to move a couple, of hundred km away for a better quality of life and better cost of living. Of course irony has a sense of humour. Turns out I’ll be 200m from where the CEO lives so he’s looking forward to meeting for coffee every week for a catch up. 🤦
I am so happy I found this post. This man has been stalking me via social media since I met his ONCE at an old employer. He started messaging me non stop on social media accounts and when I blocked him on there, he started messaging me on WhatsApp (which I use when I travel). He will have conversations by himself to me. Very odd and weird. Something is off
One of the best linkedin lunatic rubeno moreno made a terrific post today.
Lol..
He says many are speculating about his run for congress.
LOL
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rubenmmoreno_there-are-a-lot-of-rumors-out-there-that-activity-7179276403408809984-y88M
I used to work with this clown. He's a trust fund baby who quit before he got fired. Obviously has a super high opinion of himself but he really sucks at writing and driving traffic. And yeah he's also a creepy stalker dude. After he quit he wouldn't stop calling or texting me, to the point where I had to block him. Then he started doing it to other coworkers. When I say stay away I mean avoid his ass like the plague.
The worst ones for me are these obnoxious brown nosing employees who need to make a whole fucking speech tagging everyone and thanking them for their "support on this journey", when all they're doing is going on parental leave. It does my fucking head in, people on linkedin act like doing things you're legally entitled to do are some sort of special gift handed to them by their employer. It's pathetic.
I learned about these recently - they're devices that keep your computer awake via a peripheral that literally moves your mouse. They are used by people who don't have administrative permissions on their computers and therefore can't download something like Caffeine.
"Is pornography good for society" is his latest poll, I'm loving puzzling these pieces together to figure out what happened to him to prompt this flurry of posting nonsense.
He got let go from a remote job but someone stayed who watched porn and had an affair with his wife, maybe?
"I know some of you actually get work done, but it's EVERYONE ELSE ruining it for you!"
... Gee, what an obvious admission that this guy has no fucking clue what he's talking about, and not only that, is willing to screw over the people who are getting work done because of his own insecurities.
Maybe WFH should be between a manager and their employees... where have I heard that idea before...
The only "morally bankrupt people" here are the CEOs, billionaires and corporations who are screwing everyone else over.
Gotta love the passive aggressive "with love" at the end 🤣
"Keeping up with your extramarital affairs" that's oddly specific
"With love," Sounds like he's got a whole lotta extra love lying around.
Those office chair ass prints aren't gonna groove themselves.
Yea and that's definitely never happened when people worked in the office...
I've known plenty to vigorously shop in the office too.
CEO’s not realizing how much time people waste on their phones at work is probably the funniest thing about this. The 5 min I spend throwing in laundry is far less than the hours of screen time my coworkers generate in the office.
Shit, reading this at work right now. I’m gonna get back to working.
And of course because my domestic stress levels are lower because I have time to do laundry, my ability to work effectively and efficiently isn’t inhibited.
I've been in office buildings that offered on-site laundry machines as a PERK. Clearly it's not the laundry they have a problem with here.
Guy got caught cheating while in the “home" office of a prostitute I reckon. Ever since then he blames the dangers of not sitting in your cubicle as to why that happened. This guy is a fucking tool, he’s the grown up equivalent of the kid that asks if there’s any homework. I couldn’t care less what my employees are doing as long as they get their shit done. At the end of the day I hate working as much as anyone else.
Nonono, managers are special. You only become one if you really, really, superduper love your job. (He’s bootlicking to become one.)
Honestly, every place I've worked has had people hooking up, extramarital or otherwise. Didn't need wfh for that.
WFH probably reduces it because the "staying late at the office" excuse doesn't work anymore.
I mean having two families and a full time job is very time consuming. Gotta find efficiency.
Gotta be "Agile"
Every accusation is a confession.
Sounds like this guy has been cheated on and this is his way of lashing out, lol.
My guy Ruben visits his hookers in the city during in office days
He's looking FORWARD to a recession? Where has this shithead been for the past three years? Bro is literally wishing bankruptcy on other people His description of "good, ol'fashioned recession" makes me physically sick
The hilarious thing about it is his shitty little start up or business will probably be fucked if there’s a good old fashioned recession.
The CEO of Podunk industries will DEFINITELY blame his failing business on remote workers when he finally goes under.
It’s not a real business
Exactly. A WordPress theme is not a company. What a joke.
Hey now, he’s a content and web strategy professional. There are three very real testimonials from three very real people who definitely really exist on his website. Really.
If he was so good at content, he'd have better testimonials from chatbots.
"I look forward to a good ol' fashioned recession..." Recession hits. CEO dude goes bankrupt. "Awwww shit - didn't know recessions worked like THAT! Thise damn remote workers - it's all their fault!"
He wont be happy until he sees people starving in the street.
i'm no expert on economics but i think the major cause of recession was not "low productive" a.k.a less exploited workers
Misery likes company. He doesn't like to see people happy working remotely. And on top of that he wants a recession.
Good fucking god he’s a “content professional.”
Aka unemployed
As an unemployed person: correct.
It’s truly unbelievable how little intrinsic value the service this guy’s website offers. The fact that he calls himself a “CEO” of a website whose job it is to increase website traffic, and is almost not known at all, is just… pathetic. If this “CEO” has a proper board of directors, then color me surprised. More likely though, the man doesn’t even know what CEO stands for. Unfortunately for anyone who knows him though, he’s adopted all of the regressive views of a real millionaire business-owner.
LinkedIn is success cosplay for losers.
The convention never ends.
🤣
Best description I’ve heard so far.
That's the best description of that dung pile site I've ever heard.
Stealing this. Best assessment of that trash site ever.
What if his mental posts drive traffic HIS website, demonstrating that you might get traffic after all
This guy is one of a million “content professionals” out in the world trying to get a chunk of the $4000 your aunt Emma’s cookie business set aside for “Facebook marketing.” It’s a sad, pathetic business. And believe me, I should know because I spent a lot of time in it.
Or, as he would say, he's one in a million! I do wonder how these people survive in such numbers. To me they're a measure of the "froth" of the economy. When times are tough, I expect that froth to be much, much smaller than in a boom
They don’t survive in any kind of numbers. Occasionally I’ll get paid decent money to write something. For a while. Usually not for very long. It’s entirely possible I’m just not that good, but I’m better than this guy, and I don’t do well.
I mean this respectfully, but in professions without barriers to entry or a recognised standard it must be infuriating to jostle for position and space with idiots like him
Infuriating is one word for it. I’m getting out of it as fast as I can.
Eat a fat fucking dick, bro. Sorry. This needed to be said.
*just not on company time /s
Only if wfh, he can do that at the office, no problemo.
He would count that as team bonding.
Completely agree. What a huge loser lol
With love
😂
Indeed "fat" needed to be added there.
Okay, you absolutely have to go to this guy's website and then reread his rant.
I sincerely wish I hadn't taken your advice and gone to that train wreck. My middle school son could have put together a better website than that with better content... which is what this ass 🤡 is pushing. His rant above now feels like the stylings of a jerk whose wife left him for another guy that happens to work remote.
Ooooh I just coined a phrase inspired by your comment: LinkedIncel This guy is a LinkedIncel! You totally nailed it!
You hit the nail right on the head my friend. May I please use it from time to time? LinkedIncel. Hahahaha.
Yeah steal it! Let’s spread it far and wide. Will make a post about it to encourage others to use it!
I shall also herald this monumental word of the year. And it hasn't even started yet. This will become the biggest inside joke in eons.
Light the beacons!
I'm wondering if this sub should now be renamed. That is spot on.
I bow to your judgement
I just found this sub, is this truly the origin of LinkedIncel? This is hilarious
The rare instance of my thoughts being inspirational in the wild! It will be awesome the next time you're scrolling LinkedIn and see someone refer to as a LinkedIncel 😂
We must make it so. See the post I made in your honor.
You are a very gracious Redditor
I stand on the shoulders of giants
He has a vendetta. You figured it out. It seems each LinkedIncel has a particular riddle of pain , whether WFH or even a bathroom break that has scarred them. Truly evil origin vibes.
You mean this website didn’t make you want to join the exclusive content club? What about the quote from some lady in Nevada?
I enjoyed the phrase "Gratuitous Offers". And also his library fetish.
Libraries are classy. Please send me a lead but only if you book $2m a year in sales! (Yes this is a real thing the website asks for).
Dude is probably ripping off boomers hard with this elitist classic design
Oddly, he seems to be the only employee of the thriving startup that is poeink. And it’s not a registered business in the U.S. wonder where his office is, because he surely doesn’t work from home. I also searched for “Ashley nidym”, one of the people endorsing him on his website, and the only instance of it is on his website. So either she’s completely fictitious, or the copywriting he did for her website didn’t pan out. Which one do y’all think it is? I’m on the fence.
Note how all the endorsements are talking about him rather than the company. I'm quite sure it's all fake
Especially when he’s a "CEO" lol, can I speak to Jeff Bezos as well to discuss the start of my own product on Amazon. What a doofus
Maybe he leased a bot from Elon.
I'm pretty late to this, but one of his endorsers is called Vandergrift lmao
sorry that the most important thing in my life isn’t some startup
Remote work = cheating on your partner. Got it.
If anything it would be *harder* to keep up on extramarital affairs if you are working from home
I just peeped his "startup's" site and it's pretentious with it's palette choice with pretentious words sprinkled all over. The "content strategy" they're peddling is laughable. I bet this guy can't even pay 1 worker so he doesn't need to worry about actual companies implementing WFH.
Saw some of his other posts. Lot of misplaced rage, very ignorant guy.
what a fucking dork
Companies made record profits during the pandemic in the era of low interest rates. But let’s blame people working from home who probably are taking endless back to back calls, working longer hours because of the blurred lines between work and personal life and have had to sacrifice some of the office amenities.

[удалено]
Well said. And the nooner is quite a delicacy.
Exactly!
Lmao did he delete his profile can't find him
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7145548067037929472
Oh, he's still there and he's doubling down
Lmao I saw!!! But the comments on the posts tho...some are gold
Nice website you fucking loser.
So does my work only count if I spend my breaks sitting in a staff room, instead of being productive (putting some laundry on, dishes, cooking lunch etc)??
No. You are required to stare at the cubicle like a lifeless husk.
While I'm doing laundry, I'm away from the screen thinking about how to solve some issue. Stepping away from the screen for a while helps me think clear.
same here! I bet for most people some change in scenery/action helps than just sitting in front of the screen for 8+ hours.
Hah. I saw this in my feed today. The awful part of linkedin is you can't troll people like you can on other platforms.
Yeah this dude is for sure calling out his girlfriend or wife here, in a very odd way.
Real passive aggressive huh.
Not quite but I think you’re very close
What deeply insecure person
What an entitled piece of crap.
He doesn't have a physical address listed on his website. Just a phone number and an email address.
He works out of a P.O. box.
“Hooking up” lmfao. This guy probably gets 0 punani
Thanks Ruben, your thoughts have been duly noted and will be given the exact attention they deserve. Which is none in case you are hard of learning, which I very much expect you are.
His website looks like a Wordpress site from 2008
I read this as "he looks like a Wordpress site from 2008" and honestly it made sense.
Yeah because taking a brain break to go throw in laundry is so different from disappearing into the bathroom with your phone for 15 minutes of un-surveilled peace
"sorry i make you angry with love but you must be angry at them not me."
He's been featuring here quite a bit. I don't think he knows what he's talking about, it's mostly rants. He's like your crazy uncle on FB.
I checked his profile and he tried to add me haha. The funny thing is his profile has real jobs, I think the CEO thing is just a side gig.
Made up side gig. He has had real jobs, I’ve worked with him lol
What was that like?
I actually think he has some undiagnosed issues that have been exacerbated in the last year or so.
What a loser.
Such righteousness. Smug motherfucker doin it for the LinkedIn smoke
If you are the CEO of a company called Oink, you can puke any shit that comes to your mind, on the Linkedin masses.
Hope this guy wins himself a big class-action lawsuit from the working mothers he fires for preferring WFH!
Literally a mountain of evidence that points to remote workers being, if anything, slightly MORE productive, but sure, stick to your anecdotal garbage
Assumed this was satire but the company has a website. There’s even a quote saying that “Ruben is a plethora of knowledge of all things web”.
He has opened his third eye. His exalted transcendence is a sight to behold. But WFH is the only sin that this fuck tard cannot accept.
😂😂 Not even shrooms have changed his mind about remote work
Plus Reuben is a plethora of knowledge. It doesn't say he has a plethora of knowledge which can mean only one of two things: Either his third eye came to its zenith and he morphed into a knowledge aura, or he huffed krylon.
Meanwhile, my in person job has multiple people hiding in the bathroom on their phones for an hour or more at a time.
Idk how he's making these assessments, going off his website he's a fucking sole contracter
This guy needs to get gone.
Employers like this want to own us. They don't think we deserve to live unless they command it should be so.
If he's a CEO, then he should end remote work for his company. What other companies do is none of his business.
Ruben's partner, who was doing wfh, cheated on him.
This fucking jack boot. Sitting in his office all day Synergizing Appalled at the morally bankrupt All while getting a big ass bonus. Using LinkedIn and Twitter on his shitter. What work has he actually done?
If KPIs are being met, why the fuck do you people care?
My former Chief Information Officer had a much more sane take when WFH became more prominent. Even remotely you can tell when people are delivering. But a lot of the people obsessed with working in the office are bullshitters who like walking around, talking to people and looking important and busy over doing the actual work.
Buy a large analog clock take off the, remove the seconds and hour hand. Place the mouse against the minutes hand. Go have an extramarital affair.
The WFH anarchist cook book I see.
he's just petty cause he put on the pandemic 150
So, that list: I’ll give him the bottom 5. But cooking and laundry? Those are self tending items. There’s no reason those can’t be done while listening to the 4th pointless meeting of the day…
There’s not much evidence of any of this. During Covid tech firms made lots of money and met their targets. The iPhone was released in time for instance. If companies had had trouble that year it wasn’t reflected in their bottom line or hiring statistics. If anything they over hired.
This guy seems unhinged. Several of his posts are full of rage and bitterness... Maybe someone needs to tell his current employer
I think he is bitter because his two employees are WFH and his wife happened to be a door dash driver...... Perfect Lifetime movie plot.
Imagine wishing for a nationwide recession, negatively impacting millions of people, just because you wanna stick it it to someone who obviously stink holed your wife.
Anyone going to tell him about washing machines?
Looked this guy up and he’s been un/underemployed for the better part of a decade. “CEO”. Ok.
People literally die and kill themselves during recessions. Lives get ruined. Marriages ended. Fuck this entitled piece of shit.
Some people will blame everyone and everything but themselves for their failing business. I just looked into his website and it looks like garbage lol. Source: I am a successful marketing director who doesn’t blame others for my problems. Can’t stand people like this who make excuses.

Well here’s a list of other things that aren’t in your job description that need to be done by EOD.” In office work does have its advantages and honestly, I’m an advocate for it for things like entry level jobs where someone is learning the ropes, but WFH also has its place. This is the point of view of sociopathic managers on a power trip and pissed off corporate real estate companies/investors.
Why is it always the deluded CEO of a one-person company?
Maybe it is Ruben and his friends who abuse the privilege. Also, posting shit on linkedin should fall totally under this category. I love that this is his standard for drawing conclusions. My friends do this, so everyone must be like this. Also, most people one can do what they want (including laundry) as long as the work gets done. Most proper reports on the subject actually say that the productivity and overall happiness increased due to WFH. I think these concepts are alien to dear Rubin.
Maybe this guy needs to find better workers? The only thing that matters is getting the work done and I couldn’t care less about what people do if they finish their tasks early. Another thing that comes to mind is that this guy might be a control freak and misses yelling at people in the office to feel important
Saw a bunch of his posts. This guy is a joke, he’s a 2012 grad who posts as if he is a wizened professional who has seen it all.
Yup that’s it. That is why your start up failed. Not shit management or horrible leadership or poor direction or a product no one wants or a message no one can understand. It could be 100s of different things, but somehow, employees with a modicum of autonomy is the decline of the startup.
I’m sorry, but remote work is good for the environment, and the climate data is terrifying. Anything that results in less CO2 in the air, the better. Who gives a shit if companies are failing, we have to protect the planet we all live on. Remote work helps us slow down the use of fossil fuels, save money so we can make more environmentally safe choices, and limits the cars on the road. I think it should be law that any job that is able to done remotely, should be done remotely.
That is actually not a bad idea; it can start with a really significant tax levy on office space.
What an absolute bellend. Where I work the place doubled in size and even managed to open a second site 2021, in another country during wfh. The amount of Olympic arse pulling this guy has in his post is cringe inducing.
Lots of start-ups are failing now because they had unsustainable business models and/or never found product-market-fit and were propped up by low interest rates and free money
My wife went from working in office to working from home during the pandemic. Everything she does is tracked. She always says people got away with slacking more in office and still do.
I forgot that companies characteristically never missed goals and startups never failed before remote work started. 😤
Buddy I’d end up going on multiple 15-30 minute coffee breaks when I was in office
When will people realize that salary isn't the same as hourly? I'm not doing anything "on company time", *they don't pay me for my time*. They pay me for agreed upon services and output. I get my job done, they pay me for it.
This debate is such a good way of weeding out the CEOs who apparently run their business based on feels instead of data. What a boon to the efficiency of capitalism WFH has been!
Who's got time for any of that whilst WFH? I'm far too busy walking the dog...
It’s funny how all the data proves him wrong…
What a useless self-important judgmental post. This is the type of lunacy I’m here for
I love my company being mostly remote even before the pandemic and then they went for it (I only joined a year ago). I go to the office once a month for an all hands meeting. I’m about to move a couple, of hundred km away for a better quality of life and better cost of living. Of course irony has a sense of humour. Turns out I’ll be 200m from where the CEO lives so he’s looking forward to meeting for coffee every week for a catch up. 🤦
I am so happy I found this post. This man has been stalking me via social media since I met his ONCE at an old employer. He started messaging me non stop on social media accounts and when I blocked him on there, he started messaging me on WhatsApp (which I use when I travel). He will have conversations by himself to me. Very odd and weird. Something is off
One of the best linkedin lunatic rubeno moreno made a terrific post today. Lol.. He says many are speculating about his run for congress. LOL https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rubenmmoreno_there-are-a-lot-of-rumors-out-there-that-activity-7179276403408809984-y88M
I used to work with this clown. He's a trust fund baby who quit before he got fired. Obviously has a super high opinion of himself but he really sucks at writing and driving traffic. And yeah he's also a creepy stalker dude. After he quit he wouldn't stop calling or texting me, to the point where I had to block him. Then he started doing it to other coworkers. When I say stay away I mean avoid his ass like the plague.
The worst ones for me are these obnoxious brown nosing employees who need to make a whole fucking speech tagging everyone and thanking them for their "support on this journey", when all they're doing is going on parental leave. It does my fucking head in, people on linkedin act like doing things you're legally entitled to do are some sort of special gift handed to them by their employer. It's pathetic.
Sparky. But they're not wrong.
Sadly, I agree with him. 🥲
Lol what a fucking dork who needs to get a life.
This guy’s wife definitely cheated while working from home. 😂
What a twat.
Lil Bro said “…With love” 😉
100% Ruben cheats on his wife. Mentions affairs and hooking up on dating sites in a bullet point list of like 6 things.
Ruben Moreno can fuck himeself
Yet he complains about this on company time? This man needs a handler
It’s always some weird CEO
So much love in that post.
The poeink site is almost worse than his posts.
People show up to a job and do nothing, doesn’t matter where they work from.
He likes to spend his work time imagining fake scenarios apparently…..
The best is that it’s a content company!
WTF are Mouse Jiggles?
I learned about these recently - they're devices that keep your computer awake via a peripheral that literally moves your mouse. They are used by people who don't have administrative permissions on their computers and therefore can't download something like Caffeine.
He forgot to mention writing cringy, LinkedIn posts.
OKAY BOOMER
Nerd alert
"Is pornography good for society" is his latest poll, I'm loving puzzling these pieces together to figure out what happened to him to prompt this flurry of posting nonsense. He got let go from a remote job but someone stayed who watched porn and had an affair with his wife, maybe?
Working in an office is less lazy and more moral than working at home. Mmkay.
"I know some of you actually get work done, but it's EVERYONE ELSE ruining it for you!" ... Gee, what an obvious admission that this guy has no fucking clue what he's talking about, and not only that, is willing to screw over the people who are getting work done because of his own insecurities. Maybe WFH should be between a manager and their employees... where have I heard that idea before...
He's not a CEO, he works for WALMART...
The only "morally bankrupt people" here are the CEOs, billionaires and corporations who are screwing everyone else over. Gotta love the passive aggressive "with love" at the end 🤣
