I am even more disappointed by that guy's choice to work only 6 days a week.
I do not believe in sleep or rest.
I firmly believe that CEOs require diapers, not toilet breaks.
I used to shit myself continuously at the office, the stench was unbearable. And yet I went on, staying at my desk, asking people to come in to berate them.
I chose to be estranged by my whole family. My kids hate me. My wife despises me. My father won't talk to me. Even my mother loathes me.
I managed all that by dedicating every second of my life to my job, so that I can die miserably and get a gravestone saying 'lmao the shitman's dead, rest in shit loser'.
Amateur! I haven't stood up in so long my leg muscles have atrophied. Slowly my body has fused with my office chair. I only take 10 min micro naps as my body periodically shuts down, a weakest of my flesh. Never leaving the office, I occupy one entire floor of the building as my productivity lair. This floor has been secretly hidden from everyone else to avoid distractions. I only enter other floors when most employees are gone for the day, usually late at night. I make these excursions to double check my coworkers daily progress or scavenge for food.
Most of my coworkers seem to fear me, perhaps I've become something of myth? They gave me a name, because I heard one scream "the Chairman is real!" as I startled him. He was working late that night as I creeped around his cubicle wall. Since I was famished, I quickly knocked him out with a keyboard and dragged him back to my lair for a quick power lunch.
Someone is thinking about the shareholders!!!
if it took him 91 hours a week to do his job, they probably should have let him go.
No see you don’t get it. He gets the grind.
/s
God I was going to try to give some dumb response… but honestly the best I’ve got is-
—I work more hours so I can make more money so I can do more cocaine, so I can work more hours…..
and that right there is what this whole thing it about!
Men like this do not understand the magic of the world around them 😔
Plenty of them are just liars. They'll look you dead in the eye and tell you "When I was your age, I worked 29 hours a day and 10 days per week".
Others simply don't want to acknowledge that the nature of their "work" is play. Flying from party to party with their gaggle of C-level friends, wining and dining clients and patrons, getting a Bill Clinton style office break between angry calls to your junior managers to "work harder!", playing Sim City or Factorio with a billion dollars in state money unconcerned with the end result because you already took out a big chunk as your share, golfing...
None of these assholes are doing manual labor. They're all just schmoozing with one another and collecting a vig on the cash that passes through their hands.
Not to mention they have people to take care of their cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc. Regular people do all that work themselves.
Plus they parasite the society.
They know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
... extremely bright, excelling at everything they do, yet a total lack of common sense.
This isn't that difficult if your only job is reading emails and giving one word replies like Yes, No, Proceed, or Delay
Which is all the guys at that level do.
At my job we've learned that anyone above director level simply will not read beyond the first sentence of a fucking email. So we have to write them these orc-like one liner emails and pray they understand whatever it is the fuck they need to understand. They have zero nuance or patience. They just want to grunt and point.
Also eat finger food during meetings
I have to suffer, so the other people should do that, too.

Just to add more context, this shithead's daughter is the wife of the British PM.
Wife of previous British PM, not the current one

It's a big club
I hated working with a team in India because of their insane work expectations. I'd be online in the morning my time, knowing it's basically the middle of the night for them. I'd say things weren't a high priority but they'd still stay online and finish it that day (that sort of stuff). Then they'd basically work first thing when they woke up as well. It was really frustrating in a weird way. I shouldn't have to resist communicating with a coworker because I suspect they're going to ruin their work life balance to do something I ask them to (even when I make it clear it's a low priority). But I can't just not communicate things that need to be done or ask questions I need answers to. It really sucked.
Like imagine your friend is asleep and you're at their house. You want some coffee at some point so you just shoot them a text message asking where it is in the kitchen as you go back to bed to wait for them to wake up. Next thing they dart out of their room, groggy, apologizing for over sleeping, and begin making you a whole ass latte. Then imagine them doing stuff like this so often that you're nervous to ask them to do things so they don't drop everything to assist. Now imagine they're a coworker so you must communicate tasks to them. That's sort of what it felt like.
Lol, I have maybe a co-worker or two I feel that way about. Work in events so work-life balance gets rocked during peak busy times. It's honestly just really hard to turn it off, cause everything needs to happen either 5 minutes ago or yesterday.
Like, shindig being planned for 2030 but we need those details yesterday.
I can emphasize. We work hard, bro, catch this email back on Monday. 😮💨😂
Don't know if it would work in your scenario, but I will use Delayed Send on an email when I want to get my thoughts down right now but don't want to bother the person I'm sending it to until a better time.
These examples were things like talking about stuff during a daily stand up meeting.
It’s like a recipe for becoming a fuckhead.
He definitely didn't get rich from that. Only stupid people work for money. He works WITH money.
"I hated my life, if I had any, and so will you"
Let me guess: he was 30 when that picture was taken.
Asian parents be like: "dEPreSSiON iS cAusEd bY LaZiNesS, juST WoRK hARdeR aND yOU wiLL bE hAPpy!"
Me: 🥲🔫
Going outside, getting some fresh air and exercise, and seeing friends/family/neighbors is a great treatment for depression
But long hours of private work/study and repetitive manual labor get in the way of that
It's not just Asia, my parents are from the 1950s, in an European country, and they had the same mentality. Money through hard work was the equivalent of a good life. Our holidays were never fun. No one knew what enjoying life is.
Did he fly to work on the back of a dragon as well?
Fuck you. I am whoring out my brainpower and will do only what I’m paid for. If it happens to take only an hour each workday, that’s not my concern.
Anybody that deep in that awfulness is of course going to try to play it off like a badge of honor. So hard to see it for what it is from there.
Only 13% of adults in India have attainted tertiary education vs 17% in China, and 50% in the U.S. Explains where the bulk of productivity is in those countries, hard and blue collar labor. So this explains this guy’s pov, he basically wants to exploit labor as hard as possible.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/232951/university-degree-attainment-by-country/
Republicans want to create that kind of system here in the U.S. because they’re convinced that you don’t need an educated population to maintain US GDP supremacy, completely neglecting that the bulk of US services are centered around work that’s not hard labor or blue collar related. Even if the U.S. makes a transition to blue collar or hard labor work in the next decade, it will never attain the same kind of productivity as India and China in this respect because of the different cultural make up of these respective countries…unless, there’s a brain drain and people who want a higher quality of life abandon ship to a non-factory country.
But importantly, the reason China and India have that kind of GDP output given their respective focus in the first place is precisely because the U.S. focuses its attention on financial and technical innovation. So if everyone shifts to pushing hard labor, then what happens? Someone’s going to have to pick up the slack, and it’s likely going to be the EU unless Russia steam rolls over them.
The way nations and their leaders decide to do things is interesting, often to the detriment of sane long term investments.
They also have 1.4 Billion people, each.
4x the US population.
if you remember the faces of your children you have failed as a salaryman
It's a sacrifice I am willing to make.
In reality you are just addicted to making money so what you are saying is "I do drugs and so should everyone"
What's the point? If you're not enjoying your life and you think everyone else should be doing this too so it's not like your "sacrifice" is so that they can enjoy life, then what are you working for?
How's that working out for your country, Narayan?
Let's see...
India over here in the third world, despite his 14hr days and no work life balance.
Germany over here in the first world with 8ish hour days and a very good work life balance.
I say this with no disrespect to people of his group that are unlike him... Ok, boomer.
How do you maintain a 14 hour schedule in half a day?
You offshore your hours to someone else in India
On the seventh day, you only work 7 hours.
What the actual fuck?

I'm just gonna leave this here.
You know some jobs could do that if it wasn't mentally or physically taxing. If you're waiting around because your processes suck you can do so called long hours.
pakistan and africa agree with him completely
