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.”

    1. The whole point of engineering is to make our lives lazier, you fucking kumquat. Working harder has rarely been rewarded over working smarter except by room temperature IQ CEOs.

    2. Did they say this in between golfing? Or while traveling on a private jet? They see all of that as proper work and business. If playing golf is actually doing business then pay me overtime for doing the back 9 in my free time.
