Urge to kill rising
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.
My boss brags about never taking any vacation, yet posts pics on LinkedIn of him fishing with other C-levels of the company on a Monday...
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.
“For the weak” more like for those of us who don’t have a love of money that we’re totally devoted to?
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.
Because they are fascists and stupidly believe it's "the natural order."
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 need to leave on time, you cunt, because I don't have a maid, an au pair, and a personal chef.
And you also do actual labor when you're working instead of client lunches and golf.
Work to live, don't live to work.
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
It's got that Chris Hansen lean...
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.
“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.
Then he goes on month long vacations leaving the actual people who work to continue working for far worse pay than he claims.
I do actually like my job, but I sure as shit don't give it a single thought when I'm not at work.
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.
This is the way.
I am so happy I quit my career in academia. Now I just clock out and do the Bob Kelso. Not having to think about work in your free time is a bless
Right. I'm also lucky in that I like my job, but I like my family more.
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 like my job because it allows for work life balance (mostly because of a long respected union culture).
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 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.
Shit, why didn't anyone else think of that? It's so simple!
Or even the reality of anyone who has a real job.
Lol. Ok. Slave away instead of living. Cause that makes sense to be your life objective...
He isn't wrong though, if i got paid 8 or 9 figures or more per year in euro/usd i wouldn't mind working 8 days a week.
If I did it for 3 months, would I get 1/4 of that?
Shit, I'd do it for one month, get 1/12 of that, and then live comfortably for the rest of my life.
These people are a scourge
Sure. But don't forget this cunt thinks work is going golfing, calling his secretary to get more coffee, or go to expensive dinners.
Don't forget going to gym with his kids, replying email, and gasp, reading news.
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.
,,Let them eat cake."
You think these fuckers are giving us cake?
Kind of the point of the quote really
What a moron
Technically just being employees, CEOs only job is saying what shareholders want.
