Wayfair’s CEO has an end-of-year message for employees of the online furniture company: Don’t shy away from doing more work and blending your work with your life.

“Winning requires hard work. I believe that most of us, being ambitious individuals, find fulfillment in the joy of seeing our efforts materialize into tangible results,” CEO Niraj Shah said in a note to employees earlier this month celebrating the company’s recent success, and which a company spokesperson confirmed to CNN. “Working long hours, being responsive, blending work and life, is not anything to shy away from. There is not a lot of history of laziness being rewarded with success.”

    Big words for someone whose business model is overcharging to drop ship cheap, Chinese garbage.

      I feel like the whole furniture industry is just a crap shoot. Even the very expensive Laziboy I bought is just MFP with cardboard in the center console.

      They literally don’t make them like they used to.

      I’ve never seen the appeal of ordering furniture online that I have never seen in person. Light fixtures, rugs, ceiling fans etc sure I can see that. But a bed? A couch? Just don’t get it.
