After landing her first job thanks to the Yellow Pages, Kinjil Mathur has climbed the ranks of Conde Nast, Saks Fifth Avenue and Squarespace to the C-suite.
I’m gen X. I worked for free in my chosen field to get experience. I worked shitty jobs at the same time for rent.
It sucked, but it landed me a super sweet job compared to my young peers, as I had experience on the ground, and they did not. That was the only difference.
It’s a shitty thing starting at the bottom. That’s how I stepped up, and got out of my young man poverty.
Now I know I’ll get down voted, so you do that. But, that was my reality. That’s what happened. That’s what gave me my start. Such is life.
Many people had that same attitude then as well. It’s always been like this. It’s not like anything is different.
The only thing different now is the huge costs of living which would make it a lot more difficult to do versus when I did it back in the day. It definitely was financially easier for me because the economy was not so screwed as it is now.
No no, guys. She’s right. We should TOTALLY bring back slavery!!! What? That’s whats being discussed here, right? Long hours, doing anything thats asked, without any compensation. That sounds like slavery to me.
Soooooo, who’s ready to bring back slavery??? Guys? Guys???
lmao… not even surprised. I’ve only had one Indian boss, that guy thought salaried employees have to work 60+ hours a week. Then the sob convinced the CTO to eliminate half of the IT staff across the board (14 people total) and replace them with off shore Indian labor to save money. Once I realized what had happened I decided it was best to resign. Especially when my boss expected me to lead team meetings with the off shore Indian team at 4AM PST / 4:30PM IST. And still come into work at 7AM til 5-6-7PM
Soo…did this place eventually collapse under its own hubris? I went through similar when I used to work for Silicon Valley Bank. Eventually their hubris caught up to them.
I didn’t keep up with their current events. Ever so often I would ponder what happened with the rest of the IT team members but I never reached out to any of them (LinkedIn) for gossip.

What’s this willing to do anything thing? Did she sell sex to get where she is now?
I’m sure the Squarespace CMO works long hours for free.

You’re getting down voted because it’s not 1990 anymore. Working for free just gets you abused, not a foot in the door.

Well there you have it. The nays have it.
G̶e̶n̶ Z̶ j̶o̶b̶ s̶e̶e̶k̶e̶r̶s̶ Squarespace CMO should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything.’
There’s an old Soviet joke.
“Squarespace Exec Wants Slave Labor”
Nepo baby thinks everyone’s daddy can bankroll their slave labor
Well, I’m never using Squarespace again.
Yeah, nothing new it was the same 20+ years ago too.
that’s slavery, Karen
Its one full-time GenZ employee, Michael. How much could it cost? $10?

The woodchipper calls to me. It’s starving it says. Feet. It wants feet.
What is a CMO? Chief Medical Officer? Completely Moronic Outburster? Certainly not Chief Morale Officer?, with those views.
Chief marketing officer
time to let every content creator who accepts their sponsorship know about this
