The speaker apologizes for a video pushing remote workers back to the office, calling it contradictory to his company's real mission: being a stepping stone where employees learn, then leave to start their own businesses. About 15 former staff have already quit to launch ventures, many earning five times their old salary using the company's tools.
I want to apologize because I made a video last week that you guys hated. Because it's ironic. I made a video about bringing my team back in the office. No more remote work. And I want them to work for me so that we can build a company, NAS IO, to help you work for yourself. See the irony? And I also looked like a douchebag in that video because I'm wearing a suit. I hate suits. I'm never going to wear a suit again. I never wear suits. I'm canceling suits on NAS Daily. Canceled. But I want you to know that internally, I had a full company meeting. And I told everyone in the company that I want NAAS company to be your final company. It means after working here, you should quit and work for yourself. And we're going to do whatever it takes to push you to quit to work for yourself. So far, 15 people or so quit my company to start their own business. And many of them use NASA IO, and many of them make 5x the salary that I use to pay them. That is success. So I wanted people to know. I see the irony. I see how it sounds. And we're trying to act in tell people, work for us for a few years. Whenever you're ready, work for yourself. And nothing will make us happier than seeing you do that.
