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.”
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.
