Wayfair’s CEO has an end-of-year message for employees of the online furniture company: Don’t shy away from doing more work and blending your work with your life.

“Winning requires hard work. I believe that most of us, being ambitious individuals, find fulfillment in the joy of seeing our efforts materialize into tangible results,” CEO Niraj Shah said in a note to employees earlier this month celebrating the company’s recent success, and which a company spokesperson confirmed to CNN. “Working long hours, being responsive, blending work and life, is not anything to shy away from. There is not a lot of history of laziness being rewarded with success.”

    " … There is not a lot of history of laziness being rewarded with success.”

    Yet there is a long and well documented history of working hard and being rewarded with Pizza or Potatoes… IF you are lucky. Most just get shit on and the reward is more work.

    Fuck this guy. Fuck this guy and all who are like him.

      We got a fajita truck last year! And I don’t like peppers or smoked pulled pork (I also keep my meat consumption to a minimum), so I didn’t even eat any. And when I told my bosses this, they basically just said “that’s too bad” and went on with their day. Gotta love being a valued employee. Especially when literally every order that is placed goes through you.

      Most just get shit on and the reward is more work.

      My day job is boring policy and process. It ends at a fixed time and I get to eat on the daily.

      My side gig is dynamic, challenging as fuck, rewarding in spades, absolutely not guaranteed as I’ve been in danger of the work drying up and the contract ending for 22 years.

      The reward to good work is more work, but make sure you can eat and sleep and live.
