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.
And his "work" and your "work" are WILDLY different.
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...
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.
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
I could totally do 80 hours a week if I had people to clean my house and raise my kids.
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.
I still wouldn't. Fuck that.
I mean, he’s a CEO so his “work” is getting drunk and eating shrimp cocktail with other assholes who pay people to raise their kids.
Sounds awful.
And his 'work' consists mostly of schmoozing.
