Internet based offers website Groupon recently fired their CEO, Andrews Mason. He has had no problems keeping himself busy since February and is releasing a music album featuring motivational work songs.
“The seven-song album, Hardly Workin’, released this week drops business knowledge on listeners with tracks such as The Way to Work, My Door is Always Open and the hip-hop influenced Stretch.
The latter begins ‘we all know that you gotta have goals every quarter’.
Groupon's failure to meet such goals was part of the reason the 32-year-old Mason was fired.
His ouster had been expected for months given investor concerns about the troubled company's declining stock price and financial problems.
Although Groupon pioneered the daily deals business, it spawned many copycats and faced worries that people are tiring of the restaurant, spa and Botox deals that Groupon built its business on.
Mason, a former punk band keyboardist, calls the album ‘motivational business music’. It is available for $9.99 on iTunes and is also streamed on Spotify.
Reviews of the album have been mixed, with one comment on iTunes calling it 'hilarious'.
Another user says: 'Andrew Mason is famous for being a prankster. And I'm pretty sure no self-respecting man would put out this kind of music seriously.'
'I'm debating whether or not this is great or terrible. I find it a little ironic, some of the lyrics. I think I like it but dude...at least become CEO of the record label,' reads another comment.
‘This album pulls some of the most important learnings from my years at the helm of one of the fastest growing businesses in history, and packages them as music,’ Mason wrote on his blog.
‘Executives, mid-level management and front-line employees are all sure to find valuable takeaways.’
Here's the opening line: ‘If you're seeking business wisdom, you don't need no MBA, look no further than the beauty that surrounds us every day.’
And it goes on from there. As of Wednesday afternoon, there were no music videos available on YouTube.
Mason, who studied music at Northwestern University, is married to folk singer, Jenny Gillespie. He founded Groupon Inc in 2008.
To diversify its business, Groupon has expanded into product sales, payments services, restaurant reservations and other areas.
The Chicago-based company's stock price has nearly doubled since Mason's firing.”
