    Huang answered that working at Nvidia is like a “voluntary sport,” so every employee should act like the “CEO” of their own time. He acknowledged that some employees have been at Nvidia for a very long time, and jokingly called them out. These are judgment calls to be made by adults, he added. His broader message was each person should determine how hard they work, but do it responsibly, these people said.

    So Nvidia is fine with this, it’s just whiny employees who didn’t get theirs talking to Business Insider.

      Eh. Sounds like it could be very toxic, or just whiny worker bees, we can’t tell from the outside.

      If the senior folk are basically tenured and produce very little while still holding the reins and preventing upwards movement of the high performers, that’s toxic. Basically a rug pull because they got theirs and limit the opportunities for the next generation.

      It’s also entirely likely that they’re doing the work at a level that doesn’t include implementing the actual day to day, but the low level workers don’t see it, so make bad assumptions.

      Who the fuck knows what the reality is.

        Sometimes it’s really valuable to have a greybeard with no fear for their job who just stops everyone from making stupid decisions that they’re too in the weeds to appreciate. Hopefully they’re one of the funny ones, and not one who condescends everybody constantly.
