What's wrong with being a janitor?


Nothing at all. That's something I think I did not portray clearly enough in this post. There is nothing wrong with being a janitor. Someone has to do it, the point was really to display that you have to do anything and everything necessary to make your company successful. Titles are bullshit and egos should be checked at the door.


In that case it would be nice if people would stop bashing janitors.


Who is bashing janitors?


I think it's more that people don't aspire to be janitors.


Nothing, that's the point. Did you read the article?


I did. The comparison seems to imply that being a CEO is not all that it's made out to be. It's like being the fucking janitor. Which is why I ask what is wrong with being a janitor.


That's not what I got from the article. I think it says that titles are bullshit, and that you do what has to be done to make a company succeed.
