    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    There’s a typo, work life balance is for the week. The weekend you shouldn’t have to balance it because that’s life time.

    “I enjoy thinking about business things on the weekends,” the 61-year-old admitted. “I do emails, and I read my papers and all of that. Do I feel that that is a big pressure? No … I enjoy doing that. So I don’t feel I need to think about how I balance my life.”

    His advice for anyone who lives for the weekend? “I think the advice here is to take some time to think about what you like doing,” he added. “Don’t do a job that you don’t like, so then you need balance.”

    Utterly severed from the reality of the working class.

      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!

        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.

      I imagine very few of us work a job we actually like doing more than spending time with family and friends. That seems unhealthy by definition, somehow.

        Right. I actually like my job and I appreciate that is a rare occurrence these days. But I also like my private life. If I had a choice I still would spend more time on what I do in my private life than in my job, since right now the balance is still heavily on the job side (if we exclude sleeping since well, I don’t get the choice to do that at my job).

          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.

    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.
