"One of Jeff's guiding principals that he infused the company with, is that workers are lazy and will take advantage of any moment to not be productive if you let them. If you're nice to your workforce they'll take advantage of your kindness to do nothing."

The guy sounds like a total jerk.

Zuckerberg seems like a complete jerk too.

Bill Gates was reportedly a real jerk while at Microsoft too.

Steve Jobs was supposedly a huge asshole.

What is it about assholes running the world? Do nice guys really finish last? How many truly nice people ever make it very far in business (not to mention politics)? Do you really have to walk over a mountain of other people's backs to make it to the top?
