    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.

    if it took him 91 hours a week to do his job, they probably should have let him go.

    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.

    These people actually think this is impressive. To me, grind culture and anything like this mentality is a failing of human society. Living for no reason at all other than to be a cog in the economic machine. Rarely do they have hobbies or interests beyond “gettin’ that money, son”, and it’s even more rare they provide anything of major value to their community. Just the absolute worst.

    Yeah he’s like Elon; he never sleeps and has no concept of how anyone could possibly be different than him unless they’re inferior. Just another rich narcissist sociopath.

    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.

    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.

    In reality you are just addicted to making money so what you are saying is “I do drugs and so should everyone”

    It’s the classic I-suffered-so-everyone-else-should-suffer-to-keep-it-fair mentality.

    Ignoring the fact that we should work to reduce suffering for future generations.
