Moar overtime, you lazy serfs!
No one needs the validation of a billionaire.
Financial obesity is neurotoxic.
Bupa is a British multinational health insurance and healthcare company
Maybe he should reflect on what happened at United Healthcare
The CEO who might do 10 hours of actual work a week.
They actually do work a ton, usually, but work also involves a lot of traveling and socializing and steak dinners, so working 70 hours a week often involves a good amount of play baked into it. “I had a business meeting then a business lunch then a business golf game then another business meeting then a business dinner with some business wine. I work so much harder than you peons!”
Don’t forget the business coke and business hookers!
Meanwhile these same cunts spend more time on the golf course and on random yachts than most people do in their own home, also under the guise of “(net)working” obviously, while at the same time mandating a full return to office for the grunts.
Flexibility is a two way street. You want me to be invested in the work in the company, stop posting linkedin stories and find ways to make exactly that actually enticing.
Obviously all that yacht and golf time is still work. #grindset
/s obviously
No sarcasm needed, they genuinely do believe that. Schmoozing with other CEOs on the golf course or at an expensive restaurant is work to them
True, it is life balance.
Work is always secondary.
Yeah sure but these are the guys who walk around on the floor where the people who actually do the work are currently working and they call that work.
These guys just fucking jerk each other off on golf courses and believe they put in a full days work.
My boss brags about never taking any vacation, yet posts pics on LinkedIn of him fishing with other C-levels of the company on a Monday…
Boss came to talk me about how i looked tired yesterday. We talked for some time and he said that i need to look fresher, like he. He told how in reality he was also tired because he was golfing day before and his legs were so sore, but he does not let it show.
lmao I would not be able to bite my tongue
Hehe, where I work at, sometimes I bite my tongue so hard I need to see the medic.
I’ve cussed out a boss for way less.
Urge to kill rising
Thats what i thought
This is the best thing I have seen in ages
The time for rrrreeeeaaaaaalllll close french haircuts is coming
Just wait till you see our “work ethic” then
How many today?!? Gee, you musta worked ALL DAY
Yes, yes I did
It’s got that Chris Hansen lean…
The ole’ French Flat top
“I enjoy thinking about business things on the weekends,” the 61-year-old admitted. “I do emails, and I read my papers and all of that. Do I feel that that is a big pressure? No … I enjoy doing that. So I don’t feel I need to think about how I balance my life.”
His advice for anyone who lives for the weekend? “I think the advice here is to take some time to think about what you like doing,” he added. “Don’t do a job that you don’t like, so then you need balance.”
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.
I need to leave on time, you cunt, because I don’t have a maid, an au pair, and a personal chef.
And you also do actual labor when you’re working instead of client lunches and golf.
How’s being weak bad?
That’s the true fallacy being put into our minds here. Some people are strong and some are weaker. I think solidarity is a great thing and we should help each other out.
If some people are not made for working as much we should let them. Leave them be. You work your ass off all you want if you like. Both is fine.
Let people love their own lives and don’t judge.
People are born different. We should make a world where everyone can live decently.
Because they are fascists and stupidly believe it’s “the natural order.”
You like to spend time with your wife? Loser, get a better job! Family?.worse, even! You need a job you enjoy!
You love to walk around in nature? You must really hate your job!
You like to spend time looking at art? JOB, BITCH!
Mind you, this is coming from a person who loved most of his jobs and who spent way toouch time working. I lost so much time doing shit for others, i lost so much time being with people I don’t like, I’ve given so much ofy time to others and for what? Money?
I’ve been a CTO multiple times now, the money ait worth it. I now work 9-5 and spend all my free time with my wife and it’s the best time I’ve ever had in my life
Iñaki Ereño
Is his name. Why that information is paywalled?
As if we can afford JavaScript in this economy.
Iñaki Ereño Is that dudes name.
CEO of Bupa in case you want to avoid (working for) that company.
There’s a typo, work life balance is for the week. The weekend you shouldn’t have to balance it because that’s life time.
