TLDR:
- David Ulevitch, a general partner at Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, criticized the proliferation of “irrelevant jobs” at big corporations.
- He specifically pointed out that at Google, he believes half of the white-collar staff does no real work, leading to billions of dollars wasted on projects that go nowhere.
In a recent interview, David Ulevitch, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, expressed his frustration with what he calls “BS jobs” at large corporations, specifically highlighting Google as an example. He believes that half of Google’s white-collar staff may not be doing meaningful work, leading to wasted resources and potential harm to the retirement accounts of shareholders.
Ulevitch argues that these irrelevant jobs at megacorporations contribute to the decline of small business and manufacturing in America. He suggests that at companies with over 10,000 employees, many positions could be eliminated without significantly impacting the company’s operations.
While Google has not responded to these comments, Ulevitch stands by his statement, emphasizing that his views are not controversial. He believes that addressing the issue of “BS jobs” is crucial for companies to operate efficiently and benefit shareholders and employees alike.
