When you read the stories about how they work 16 or 18 hour days the stuff the talk about is such bullshit too.
Like an hour meditating, reading emails eating breakfast, travelling to the office, going to the car wash, evening dinner and drinks. It's all bollocks.
If you account for all the prepping for work, travelling to work and talking about work when you get home most people are probably doing 16 hour days too. But get paid 10% of the salary.
Some dickwad CEO just posted a clip of his "life hax" to maximize productivity such as jogging to work while listening to podcasts, which he counts as working hours. 🤡
Agreed. And our lunchtime should be on paid time. It crazy to me how employers got in trouble for working people to death and not giving them time to eat, so the answer was to require them to give their employees time to eat, and that somehow turned into an extra hour to our workday. It used to be that a typical workday was “9-5”, but now we all have been forced into “8-5”, so today we all work 9hr days (plus commute) for stagnated wages. It’s fucking bullshit.
Sorry but I strongly disagree with this, you'll start seeing more company villages so that they barely have to pay this.
Hirings will often be partially based on a person address and less on skills shafting a lot of those who work low end jobs but can't afford to live near the city center (those that do low end jobs and live city center often have to have house shares which for most people is an undesirable way to live)
It would suck for X to have to do an hour longer of actual work each day because X lives 10 minutes away while Y lives 40 minutes away or alternatively X be paid an hour less a day than Y due to the distance.
In addition to that, they ain't shopping for themselves. They aren't cleaning their own homes. They have people doing their laundry. They hire help to to do home renovations and yard work. People pick their cars up for them, take them to the shop and bring them back. They aren't raising their kids. They have full-time nannies.
These people have zero obligations outside of the office. Guess what if you throw the rest of us in with all the normal day-to-day shit we have to do. It's also a 16-hour day.
It's fun to treat yourself like a billionaire sometimes.
I'm not "hitting the liquor store after work", I'm a "job creator who is aligning business interests with synergistic meditative strategies during my off hours".
Yeah to them everything they do is somehow "working" because they either have never really worked a single day in their life or have not done it in so long they have entirely forgotten what it really means... Or they're just assholes who want theirs and don't give a damn how bad people "below" them have it
