Moar overtime, you lazy serfs!
Utterly severed from the reality of the working class.
I imagine very few of us work a job we actually like doing more than spending time with family and friends. That seems unhealthy by definition, somehow.
Right. I actually like my job and I appreciate that is a rare occurrence these days. But I also like my private life. If I had a choice I still would spend more time on what I do in my private life than in my job, since right now the balance is still heavily on the job side (if we exclude sleeping since well, I don’t get the choice to do that at my job).
Fully agree. Same situation. I have a job I actually enjoy doing. If I was in prison being forced to do what I do, I would have fun. But I’d still want to be with my family more and have free time with them. I give more of my time to my work than my family and that’s pretty fucked up if you think about it. You spend more time with colleagues than you do with your family, going through life. So bad, so wrong.
Then he goes on month long vacations leaving the actual people who work to continue working for far worse pay than he claims.
Just get a job you like… sure, no problem. What if even getting a job of any kind is hard. Billionaires probably never thought of that.
I do have a job I like. But I still need balance. Because my job isn’t reading some mails and reading the fucking papers.
But nothing new from those type of people and it shows yet again why you shouldn’t trust their proclamations of how much they “work”.
I like my job because it allows for work life balance (mostly because of a long respected union culture).
I’m beginning to see a pattern here. Billionaires say we don’t need balance or unions, but those are the things that actually improve the quality of my life. So, the billionaires are effectively saying I shouldn’t enjoy my life.
I do actually like my job, but I sure as shit don’t give it a single thought when I’m not at work.
I fucking love my job.
But every minute after 4 pm is overtime. And I won’t let myself even think about that shit not on the clock.
I know I have some issue with nutanix I gotta troubleshoot today but I won’t go deeper than that til I’ve sat down at my desk.
I bring my laptop with me when I leave the house because if something clicks, I wanna get it done and get paid.
This is the way.
I am so happy I quit my career in academia. Now I just clock out and do the Bob Kelso. Not having to think about work in your free time is a bless
Right. I’m also lucky in that I like my job, but I like my family more.
Hey, if I got his salary, dividends, property, political power and privilege, I’d be happy with working overtime as well… or if I had my morals intact, I’d be hunched over in the corner convulsing wondering how tf I got myself into that situation.
This, from a guy who has the freedom to pick and choose how he supports whatever lifestlye he wants.
Shit, why didn’t anyone else think of that? It’s so simple!
These fucking billionaires are so stupid they don’t realise we’re fast approaching a time in history that’s not going to end pleasantly for greedy, self-serving, narcissistic parasitical… I could go on, but you probably get the idea. Or feel free to add to the adjectives!
All his employees should take his advice and quit working for him
Or even the reality of anyone who has a real job.
