3.0
Way too long and repetitive. Every chapter was “I realised it was bad but told myself I was being silly”. And then when she finally listened to herself she’s like “I’ll coast on other people to get paid instead of quitting”, this was despite being unsatisfied with her job and the industry and knowing people in her company were terrible and that she was consistently benefiting off of the work of other people who were struggling.
There was a lot of “these schemes don’t allow anyone who isn’t white upper middle class to succeed” but I don’t think she fully acknowledged or understands how much she harmed those below her and how terrible she was. This was definitely written to make herself look reflective and inclusive but it doesn’t seem like she’s actually done a lot of reflection to how she harassed others into essentially going into debt and her inclusiveness seems surface level.
She discusses a lot of issues about how these schemes are bad but never with depth or thorough analysis. A lot of surface level arguments. This book needed to decide if it wanted to be factual or a memoir - the mix did not work.
I’m also confused because she mentioned Facebook still being smallish at the start but then she doesn’t quit until the pandemic? But the time line didn’t seem to add up with the amount of years she worked…
If this had been chopped in half I would have liked it more, but the repetition got to the point where I was listening at over double speed.
