Reid Hoffman, the visionary behind LinkedIn, says he even expects employees at startups to constantly be working—with the exception of taking time out for dinner
I worked at LNKD through a good part of its rampup. Jeff Weiner made Linkedin what it was. Reid Hoffman was mostly useless and came along for the ride. His “masters of scale” podcast series was a bit of a joke too, he never had anything to do with anything technical or at scale. He is just stealing credit from his betters.
Every “famous leader” ; if you want to know a good company, look at ones which didn’t have famous leaders or did have leaders notorious for not being famous. DEC, Sun. IBM, after all, though not as cool.

Classic famous ceo Behavior, same with Jobs / Wozniak.
