    These billion assholes are the one that have never washed a dish, cleaned their toilet, grown up their kids, renovated their home with their own hands, looked after their vegetable garden so that you eat decent food without spending o fortune … they just live at another level so they cant compare themselves to ordinary people. They are what i call “the super-ego-idiots”

    I do have to agree on one thing, if you like your job, you don’t watch the hours tick down to 5. I am lucky that I always ended up working jobs that I enjoy doing. But I also know, that this is not true for many people where a job is just a means for paying rent and groceries and do whatever job they can manage to hold on to.

      I mean, I’ve also had jobs I loved and would go back to work for free if I won the lottery.

      But I would still clock out at 5 and not answer the phones on weekends. It doesn’t define me, I have other priorities to put above it.

    How many companies is Elon Musk a CEO of? CEO is a part time job at best.

    I’m not going to take mental health advice from someone with untreated mental illness.

    To be fair, he does have a point about the job. If your job does not suck, you might want to do more overtime in it?

    Sadly, that’s like one in 10 million jobs where you are like a chocolate taste tester, or bed tester.

    Says a guy who’s never worked a job in his life.
    When you can expense a 2+ hour lunch with your friends as “working”, he’s right.

    The truth is that CEOs DO have work life balance. They have a kid sick? Nanny takes care of it. Need an short notice dr. visit? Just take a long lunch. Need to take care of those errands you forgot about? Just take care of them because who the fuck is going to say anything.

    They get freedom to deal with life that us regular workers would get written up for and fired. Their position allows them to do whatever the fuck they want because they aren’t doing actual work.

      CEOs don’t do errands, they have people doing it for them. Imagine your entire life is just talking out your ass all day and any menial task can be handed off. Of course they think work life balance is overrated because what they call “work” most people would call “living the life”

      I wasn’t a CEO or anything, but I left my job where I could literally do all of those things because I thought if I worked hard and tried to improve things it would actually work out, I was so bored but I would totally go back now

    Classic sheltered rich white guy:

    "I have a lot of money and nobody contradicts me, therefore my every opinion and how I do (or pretend to do) things are always correct!

    Everyone claiming otherwise have less money, which proves them incorrect! I know this because having a lot of money is proof that I’m the best at everything and always right, which is the reason I have all that money, not any privilege I was born with or otherwise got handed to me that the vast majority of people do not!"

    Anyways, what’s the going rate for a guillotine these days?
