Moar overtime, you lazy serfs!
Fully agree. Same situation. I have a job I actually enjoy doing. If I was in prison being forced to do what I do, I would have fun. But I'd still want to be with my family more and have free time with them. I give more of my time to my work than my family and that's pretty fucked up if you think about it. You spend more time with colleagues than you do with your family, going through life. So bad, so wrong.
Just get a job you like… sure, no problem. What if even getting a job of any kind is hard. Billionaires probably never thought of that.
I do have a job I like. But I still need balance. Because my job isn't reading some mails and reading the fucking papers.
But nothing new from those type of people and it shows yet again why you shouldn't trust their proclamations of how much they "work".
I’m beginning to see a pattern here. Billionaires say we don’t need balance or unions, but those are the things that actually improve the quality of my life. So, the billionaires are effectively saying I shouldn’t enjoy my life.
I fucking love my job.
But every minute after 4 pm is overtime. And I won't let myself even think about that shit not on the clock.
I know I have some issue with nutanix I gotta troubleshoot today but I won't go deeper than that til I've sat down at my desk.
I bring my laptop with me when I leave the house because if something clicks, I wanna get it done and get paid.
Or even the reality of anyone who has a real job.
Hey, if I got his salary, dividends, property, political power and privilege, I'd be happy with working overtime as well... or if I had my morals intact, I'd be hunched over in the corner convulsing wondering how tf I got myself into that situation.
These fucking billionaires are so stupid they don't realise we're fast approaching a time in history that's not going to end pleasantly for greedy, self-serving, narcissistic parasitical... I could go on, but you probably get the idea. Or feel free to add to the adjectives!
This is the best thing I have seen in ages
The time for rrrreeeeaaaaaalllll close french haircuts is coming
Just wait till you see our "work ethic" then
How many today?!? Gee, you musta worked ALL DAY
Yes, yes I did
The ole' French Flat top
Iñaki Ereño
Is his name. Why that information is paywalled?
As if we can afford JavaScript in this economy.
Iñaki Ereño Is that dudes name.
CEO of Bupa in case you want to avoid (working for) that company.
Yeah sure but these are the guys who walk around on the floor where the people who actually do the work are currently working and they call that work.
These guys just fucking jerk each other off on golf courses and believe they put in a full days work.
Boss came to talk me about how i looked tired yesterday. We talked for some time and he said that i need to look fresher, like he. He told how in reality he was also tired because he was golfing day before and his legs were so sore, but he does not let it show.
Thats what i thought
How's being weak bad?
That's the true fallacy being put into our minds here. Some people are strong and some are weaker. I think solidarity is a great thing and we should help each other out.
If some people are not made for working as much we should let them. Leave them be. You work your ass off all you want if you like. Both is fine.
Let people love their own lives and don't judge.
People are born different. We should make a world where everyone can live decently.
Meanwhile these same cunts spend more time on the golf course and on random yachts than most people do in their own home, also under the guise of "(net)working" obviously, while at the same time mandating a full return to office for the grunts.
Flexibility is a two way street. You want me to be invested in the work in the company, stop posting linkedin stories and find ways to make exactly that actually enticing.
No sarcasm needed, they genuinely do believe that. Schmoozing with other CEOs on the golf course or at an expensive restaurant is work to them
What a moron
,,Let them eat cake."
Work to live, don't live to work.
Lol. Ok. Slave away instead of living. Cause that makes sense to be your life objective...
You like to spend time with your wife? Loser, get a better job! Family?.worse, even! You need a job you enjoy!
You love to walk around in nature? You must really hate your job!
You like to spend time looking at art? JOB, BITCH!
Mind you, this is coming from a person who loved most of his jobs and who spent way toouch time working. I lost so much time doing shit for others, i lost so much time being with people I don't like, I've given so much ofy time to others and for what? Money?
I've been a CTO multiple times now, the money ait worth it. I now work 9-5 and spend all my free time with my wife and it's the best time I've ever had in my life
Technically just being employees, CEOs only job is saying what shareholders want.
No one needs the validation of a billionaire.
Hahaha, proudly telling everyone you don't have your life priorities straight, and so old you'll probably die thinking: I was right all along, I'm dying now but at least I had all this wealth and power.
They actually do work a ton, usually, but work also involves a lot of traveling and socializing and steak dinners, so working 70 hours a week often involves a good amount of play baked into it. "I had a business meeting then a business lunch then a business golf game then another business meeting then a business dinner with some business wine. I work so much harder than you peons!"
Yes, "I'm weak. And what's wrong with that?" Weak - AJR
They're saying that if you don't enjoy being exploited by billionaires enough to put the interests of the corporation before your own wellbeing, family and personal pursuits, then it means you just haven't found the right billionaire to exploit you yet.

Utterly severed from the reality of the working class.
