      People like this cunt, and the Elon Musk cunt, and the Steve Jobs cunt and my old boss who was a cunt will pull 14 hour days 7 days a week for 10 years and call you lazy for not doing it.

      We should be allowed to say no and have a different opinion.

        will pull 14 hour days 7 days a week for 10 years

        I mean, sure, they will, but they also spend half of that time socialising, posting on Twitter, going to the gym and generally living life while claiming to be on the clock. Their “70 hours a week” have nothing to do with the “70 hours a week” of an actual working person.

          Rich people still work hard. I know that hating rich people is the entire point of this comment, but suggesting that most senior business leaders aren’t absolute workaholics is absurd. Every successful lawyer is an absolute workaholic.

          That’s literally the reason the guy from the article believes as he does. He does actually work that much. The weird and fucked up part is him wanting that to be the norm

              if you dedicate every single hour possible to being productive you’re going to burn far sooner than later, and telling people otherwise is going to provoke a lot of pain for no gain

              That’s why I said this same thing

              The weird and fucked up part is him wanting that to be the norm

              Why do you think this is an argument? Did you just stop reading at the first sentence?
