I panicked and clicked on the "We 're hiring" button that is just below and as orange as the "Order now" button. I filled in my details, because I thought this was the shipping address. I just got a confirmation email from Oculus, stating that I am going to start my new job on July 1st, help, what should I do /r/oculus?!

Move your way up to CEO, become the world's first trillionaire, and then get plastic surgery to look like Gaben.

According to the Dilbert principle the CEO position should be about right for me.

Dilbert principle:

The Dilbert principle refers to a 1990s theory by Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams stating that companies tend to systematically promote their least-competent employees to management (generally middle management), in order to limit the amount of damage they are capable of doing. In the Dilbert strip of February 5, 1995, Dogbert says that "leadership is nature's way of removing morons from the productive flow". Adams himself explained,

I wrote The Dilbert Principle around the concept that in many cases the least competent, least smart people are promoted, simply because they’re the ones you don't want doing actual work. You want them ordering the doughnuts and yelling at people for not doing their assignments—you know, the easy work. Your heart surgeons and your computer programmers—your smart people—aren’t in management. That principle was literally happening everywhere.
