    These same CEOs will say they work sun up to sun down and then they just consider any moment they are awake “working”

    • enjoying a lavished catered lunch on the company dime: work
    • having drinks with other executives punctuated by the occasional sentence here or there about buckling down for next quarter: work
    • sitting and barely listening to a presentation someone else put together and then making a semi-random decision based off a partial understanding after someone has boiled all the complexity away into two viable solutions that are only cosmetically different: work

    And then after a long day of doing nothing of value they go back to their mansion and enjoy their 8 figure salaries and “read a paper” or “think about work” and consider that burning the midnight oil while all the material cares in the world are easily handled for them.

    Fuck that noise

    That’s great that they all found something that they can healthily obsess over and that also makes them rich. Spend as much time on your passion as you want.

    Unfortunately, I’m not as passionate about your company as you are. You need to pay me for every hour you want me to contribute to it. If I’m not getting paid on a Saturday, then I’m not working for your company on a Saturday.

    They keep saying this, and perhaps one beautiful day we will be able to make them work 12 hours a day in the mines
