Yeah I think you and I actually agree. My intended point isn't that I don't consider the CEO job to be work -- it's that the inflated hours are bullshit.
You even included "during work hours" -- CEO work during their "office hours" is absolutely valid. But some CEOs like to count off-hour activities VERY generously toward their "work", and my point is, then so is my off-hour mental activity that I only do because of my job. (Or, say, can a manual laborer bill for weekend exercise time, if it's to stay in shape for their job?)
(Now, there's definitely a reply option that says we SHOULD all count that time, and/or stop providing unpaid overtime. :-) I'm just saying CEOs aren't a different species of worker, no matter how "special little boy" they like to paint themselves.)
