I’ll bet $50 this “CEO” has very few “employees.” Maybe just one. Which makes the screenshot message even sadder.
OK yeah. He is a recent grad from Dartmouth and his company markets exclusively to college students and boasts $500,000 in sales.
This might sound like a lot but it’s not enough to have many employees. He’s essentially a self-employed ~~kid~~ young man acting as the sole managing member of a disregarded entity and his “Pakistani employee” is likely a 1099 gig-worker, not a w2 employee.
So, big grain of salt here. It’s a ~~kid~~ young man cosplaying as a big-shot CEO on social media. Maybe don’t luigi this one until he’s had the chance to actually be a colossal piece of shit.
Edit: trying to learn not to call young adults kids, even when they totally look or act like one
This is admirable, I could do better about that myself.
