You’re correct, it’s unfair of me to insult newer FAANGM employees without also insulting the lazy, overpaid, freeloading lifers who set the wrong hiring targets at said companies.
I use the term freeloader because the truth is…network effects exploit an inefficiency in human social dynamics that’s so powerful, it produces monopoly-level market capture and profits. So it’s a fair assumption to make that anyone hired at a network Monopoly money machine like LinkedIn will, inevitably, turn into a do-nothing freeloader (not necessarily through any fault of their own).
