    That’s cool, but when you say shit like this, when you position yourself as an enemy to normal people, you certainly have no right to get upset when people say they want to treat you like an enemy.

      One of the best aspects of the presence of media everywhere is that these ghouls think they’re so smart that they have to express their opinions. And the more they talk the more everyone realises they are mediocre at best, they’re working overtime to dispel the notion of meritocracy lmao

      Their idea of work is to hire a bunch of smart people, underpay them and then terrorize them that they are about to lose their jobs at any minute, then demand ideas. Sift through the ideas, choose the best, and tell everybody to do that. When it succeeds, you declare record profits, pocket a billion dollar windfall, and lay off a few thousand losers to celebrate.

    Like they know people wouldn’t actually be working for their shitty asses if it wasn’t for the money, right? They won’t even be doing the “work” that they are doing if they were making $15 an hour.

    He “happily works through weekends”…because his idea of what “work” is isn’t really fucking work.

          To be completely fair, commute time should be billable for everyone. But should I have to work during those hours? Absolutely not.

          Was in a startup where the founder did this. I started to copy and commit things while entering the train and scheduling call in transport. He forbade us to do that and kept doing small hours buy never spoke about it to us again XD

    I worked 50-100 per week for years and after 60 hours or so there is very little “life” left to be had, the time remaining is almost all dedicated to chores.

    What do you want to bet that this guy has had a staff his whole life and never had to deal with laundry, cooking, shopping, cleaning, bills, or any of the other dozens of tasks necessary in an average person’s week?

    A billionaire’s life consists of nothing but work and leisure with serfs to do everything else, so screw him and his condescending “work- life” lecture. He doesn’t even know what that means.

        I’ll admit to never being c-suit, or even a manager, but even the most corporate cock gobbling, sickophantic [sic], capitalist worshipping propaganda outlets describe the average work week of a CEO as completely worthless to society and entirely free of actual work. These people, and i use the word lightly, couldn’t even imagine lifting a box let alone doing an actual day’s work.

        Do you not clock inl for the time you spend dining with your coworkers at a Michelin star restaurant? That totally counts, and should go on your time card…

      seems everytime an emergency pops up like car repairs, I’m set back to $0 and suddenly working 6+ days/week become meaningless and tiring. at this point, just working the rest of my life towards cars and rent. almost hoping for a disability at this point cuz it’s the only way to retire early

        Imagine someone cooking all your meals, changing your sheets every day, paying your bills, and full time staff to manage your home, children and every other aspect of your life? Doctors on staff, home and office gyms, personal trainers, private jets, helicopters and limo drivers too.

        I was lucky to get 10-12 hours of “life” when working 60 hours a week. If I had the kind of life this billionaire lives I could put in 100 hours and still have more leisure time.

          And don’t forget the work is mostly playing in your phone in an office, hanging out with friends, and being available for speeches a few times a year.

      Lawyer? I don’t know what else could put up numbers like that

      I used to pull 300 hr months from May to December stomping though the bush and digging holes. Tiring doesn’t even begin to describe my field seasons.

      My off season was working on mines as a soil monitor, and those months were 220-250 hrs. A lot easier work, but it takes its toll on you too.

      Did that for 10 years. My hips and lower back were completely toast.

      Now I work 37.5 a week at a desk. Made in the shade, baby.

      Finally rehabbed my injuries as well.

      Life is good.

      Any one who says work life balance is a myth or for the weak can come get eaten by black flies with me. That’s if I don’t brain them with my shovel first.
