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
People who say shit like this didn’t get beat up enough as a child.
Since %95+ CEOs dont actually work at all, but just pretend to; no wonder he doesnt gets tired so doesnt needs to rest much as rest of us.
It's kind of nice of them to draf target marks on themselves.
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.
God these new plantations somehow suck worse than those of old.
He "happily works through weekends"...because his idea of what "work" is isn't really fucking work.
He mentioned reading the newspaper and sitting there reflecting on things as work.
Some of these assholes consider the commute or exercise as work time. Must be frickin' nice.
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.
And his "work" and your "work" are WILDLY different.
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
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.
Am I being too extreme if the first thing that springs to mind is ‘kill him’?
Sign of the times, really. I just hope more workers start to play hardball, the rich are getting much too bold
Nah, that sounds about right.
Parasites shouldn't give their opinion on anything. They don't matter.
Says the guy with work life balance
You need to be Luigied Mr CEO.
It’s easy to say when you’re a CEO and “work” consists of a series of meetings over lunch that you don’t pay for and making decisions based on data that has already been processed and analyzed by multiple layers of underlings.
I'm not sure he even does that, according to the article, he goes to meetings from business open to close then fires off a few emails here and there. This dude's most marketable skill is filling space in a chair while people talk around or at him for 10 hours. Fucking billionaires.
I guarantee that several times a week at least one of those “meetings” is a €500/plate lunch that lasts 3 hours and involves maybe 5 minutes of business talk.
And pay personnel to do all the time consuming chores in life. He never did mention cleaning, doing laundry, groceries or mowing the lawn in that support busy schedule of him.
Pay us like you pay yourself and we might agree.
Get fucked, parasite.
I also don’t believe in work-life balance.
I believe in life-work balance.
If you don’t have time for work you shouldn’t be expected to do it.
There are kinda 3 things really... Job-Chores-Leisure. If you're working so much all you have time for is chores, that's not balanced, but if you never do those and only leisure, you're also losing.

Sounds biased. I'd say he wants you to work yourself sick so he can bill hospitals.
How many times are we gonna have to teach you guys this lesson?
Meanwhile all that extra work for the love of the job means nothing. There'll be no raise at the end of the year in these difficult times because . They've shown the world loyalty means nothing and you'll be replaced with AI out robots the moment they think it's possible and cheaper.
Really? Because from my perspective it’s only possible if you’re strong enough to set and stand up for your boundaries.
I think that anyone who makes more than 500k/yr should be banned from commenting on the work-life balance of others, and anyone that shits on work-life balance will have all their bank accounts seized and immediately put into an account that funds unemployment in their home state.
Ugh, stop making your mental issues my problem.
Bunch of weirdos.
I'd like to see these loudmouth motherfuckers actually put in a camp and forced to do real work, then I'd like for them to report back to me about work life balance.
Shut up money hoarder.
No, work life balance is for the week. We should only be working part of the week. Like, how about 40 hours a week? Sounds more than reasonable. If you don’t like that, how about 32 hours a week, and we don’t burn down any warehouses?
Jokes on you, Bupas whole business model is shitty contracts, they have no warehouses.
It's easy to have work life balance when you haven't worked a day in your life. (And not in the rock n'roll kind of way.)
Iñaki Ereño, kill yourself
If you’re obsessing over work-life balance, your problem isn’t the hours—it’s the job, says Bupa’s CEO. And some of the world’s most powerful people agree.
There's some truth to that. But the conclusion is just that most jobs suck.
Not if it's actually about balancing time, it could be a job you love but you still want and have a life outside of that. If you also hate your job, you have 2 problems.

He's in charge of companies dedicated to selling you what you already have. So you know he's an absolute POS.
