Imagine being this much of a loser

I am even more disappointed by that guy's choice to work only 6 days a week.

I do not believe in sleep or rest.

I firmly believe that CEOs require diapers, not toilet breaks.

I used to shit myself continuously at the office, the stench was unbearable. And yet I went on, staying at my desk, asking people to come in to berate them.

I chose to be estranged by my whole family. My kids hate me. My wife despises me. My father won't talk to me. Even my mother loathes me.

I managed all that by dedicating every second of my life to my job, so that I can die miserably any get a gravestone saying 'lmao the shitman's dead, rest in shit loser'.

if it took him 91 hours a week to do his job, they probably should have let him go.

It's the classic I-suffered-so-everyone-else-should-suffer-to-keep-it-fair mentality.

Ignoring the fact that we should work to reduce suffering for future generations.

Men like this do not understand the magic of the world around them 😔

I used to work with a guy like this, they'd do six hours of work in twelve hours, were constantly having important business calls etc, and simply didn't have a life outside of work.

I'd be willing to bet this person was less productive than some executives that worked less than half the time.

These people actually think this is impressive. To me, grind culture and anything like this mentality is a failing of human society. Living for no reason at all other than to be a cog in the economic machine. Rarely do they have hobbies or interests beyond "gettin' that money, son", and it's even more rare they provide anything of major value to their community. Just the absolute worst.

This isn't that difficult if your only job is reading emails and giving one word replies like Yes, No, Proceed, or Delay

Which is all the guys at that level do.

I hated working with a team in India because of their insane work expectations. I'd be online in the morning my time, knowing it's basically the middle of the night for them. I'd say things weren't a high priority but they'd still stay online and finish it that day (that sort of stuff). Then they'd basically work first thing when they woke up as well. It was really frustrating in a weird way. I shouldn't have to resist communicating with a coworker because I suspect they're going to ruin their work life balance to do something I ask them to (even when I make it clear it's a low priority). But I can't just not communicate things that need to be done or ask questions I need answers to. It really sucked.

Like imagine your friend is asleep and you're at their house. You want some coffee at some point so you just shoot them a text message asking where it is in the kitchen as you go back to bed to wait for them to wake up. Next thing they dart out of their room, groggy, apologizing for over sleeping, and begin making you a whole ass latte. Then imagine them doing stuff like this so often that you're nervous to ask them to do things so they don't drop everything to assist. Now imagine they're a coworker so you must communicate tasks to them. That's sort of what it felt like.

I have to suffer, so the other people should do that, too.

Just to add more context, this shithead's daughter is the wife of the British PM.

It’s like a recipe for becoming a fuckhead.

has some common ancestry with the assholes from Spaceballs, I see

Asian parents be like: "dEPreSSiON iS cAusEd bY LaZiNesS, juST WoRK hARdeR aND yOU wiLL bE hAPpy!"

Me: 🥲🔫

Sometimes I feel like we need a government appointed slapper, a person who's job it is to look dickheads up and be authorized to give them a big slap across their face for being assholes.

Bodyguards would not be allowed to prevent it, and a report on why the slap was delivered would be presented.

In this case the report would say:

Slap ID: 2025-01-427

Reason for slap: Being an uncaring idiot

Details: Slapee forgot about the value of family and personal growth, made statements and took actions to reduce those to unsustainable levels. This was based on slapee's own missersble work history and mistaken assumption that slapee's personal choices in the past is the only correct choice by modern workers. This is currently false and was false in the past as well. Slapee is reminded that their own choices and failings should not be forced onto others.

Expected outcome from slap: Slapee takes a week off work and experience their own personal life to experience the value of it, then spends six months in intensive therapy sorting out their own life to be a better leader.

Possible future actions: If Slapee neglects to take action to correct their behavior, the ministry of punching may need to be contacted and further percussive encouragement may be delivered.

if you remember the faces of your children you have failed as a salaryman

Only 13% of adults in India have attainted tertiary education vs 17% in China, and 50% in the U.S. Explains where the bulk of productivity is in those countries, hard and blue collar labor. So this explains this guy’s pov, he basically wants to exploit labor as hard as possible.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/232951/university-degree-attainment-by-country/

Republicans want to create that kind of system here in the U.S. because they’re convinced that you don’t need an educated population to maintain US GDP supremacy, completely neglecting that the bulk of US services are centered around work that’s not hard labor or blue collar related. Even if the U.S. makes a transition to blue collar or hard labor work in the next decade, it will never attain the same kind of productivity as India and China in this respect because of the different cultural make up of these respective countries…unless, there’s a brain drain and people who want a higher quality of life abandon ship to a non-factory country.

But importantly, the reason China and India have that kind of GDP output given their respective focus in the first place is precisely because the U.S. focuses its attention on financial and technical innovation. So if everyone shifts to pushing hard labor, then what happens? Someone’s going to have to pick up the slack, and it’s likely going to be the EU unless Russia steam rolls over them.

The way nations and their leaders decide to do things is interesting, often to the detriment of sane long term investments.

How do you maintain a 14 hour schedule in half a day?
