This thread is cursed. First, “lets make a list of CEOs who are incredibly cool aktuly”. Then “you know who are better than the mega-rich? The delusional wanna-bes who nickel and dime everyone they do business with in the vain hope of hitting the big time”.
Worst human being I ever worked for was a guy who’d franchised out a college exam prep business and expected me to be on call 24/7 for $250/week. Guy was charging $2500/student for a six week course and my class had ten of them. Fuck small business owners.
So your one experience represent all small business owners… Just wow
Thankfully you don’t paint with a broad brush 🙄
