Founder of a tech startup caught working during his wedding. The images went viral on social media and sparked controversy among users.
A post made on LinkedIn by the co-founder of the AI company Thoughtly, Torrey Leonard, caused a stir after capturing a groom opening his laptop to work on his wedding day. The images went viral on social media, and users commented on the controversy.
Leonard praised the groom, Casey Mackrell, for working during the celebration. “My co-founder Casey has built a reputation as ‘the guy who sits at the laptop in bars’ from San Francisco to New York,” he wrote in the post.
He noted that Thoughtly had secured a client that needed to launch a project within two weeks, the same weeks as Casey’s wedding.
“So, here he is finishing a pull request. At his own wedding. Congrats, Casey, now please take some time off,” Leonard wrote.
“Don’t worry, I was back to dancing and champagne two seconds later,” Casey commented. Despite the reassuring message, users were not satisfied with the response.
“So your company has such a poor work-life balance that you can’t even have a wedding without needing to work? That’s just too sad,” criticized one profile.
