The Best Businesses are the Worst

“I can’t believe this place is still in business,” my friend is telling me. “It’s a complete shit-show. Layers of bureaucracy, incompetent people, nothing gets done as planned and most things aren’t planned anyways. It’s just a matter of time. A matter of time!” My friend’s complaining to me about this backwards-ass company he works at called Google. I hear this type of ominous bellyaching all the time. I’ve heard it at every place I’ve ever worked. I’ve thought it at every place I’ve ever worked. I always imagined that somewhere over the rainbow there was a company doing everything right, a living symphony of Harvard Business School case studies. A company where every meeting is a Ted Talk and every employee is overpaid and customers write-in the CEO’s name on presidential ballots. At this moment, it finally hits me. Great companies are a myth. Even Google is a shit-show! Funny enough, I learned this lesson when I was 14. I just didn’t learn that I learned it until this moment.
