Can I do a brutally honest, very unfavourable read?
- Rampant substance abuse (weed and beer on the day before (!) investor meeting)
- Lazy (can't make his own breakfast), justified with high salary (?!)
- Said salary is €19/hr ("CTO") [edit: maybe closer to 22€/hr]
- Proud to sell "half-assed" product
- Database migrations on a Friday before vacation
- Impromptu coke parties with randos on same Friday
- Ruins his own date because he needs to clean up his colleague's mess — on same Friday
- Doesn't see that as catastrophic incompetence, but cosplays as a "vodka-powered hacker" to "impress" girl (who just wanted to get laid)
- Fumble a multi-million dollar acquisition because they fail to check nutrition requirements of VIP guest (of course not because the product or their whole presentation is messy)
- Fails to get rich, fails to get laid, surrounded by mess, yet thinks life is "nearly perfect"
Delusional, dude. Would drive me nuts. I hope this is a creative writing exercise or you're still in your 20s.
Loool. I'm indeed not serious people, the piece is meant to be humorous. I was just experimenting with a gonzo journalism style (hence the title) and drew on my own experiences.
