    The super-rich talking about longer hours without extra pay are also the ones doing the least amount of work.

    Ongoing personal anecdote: I’m the kept woman/sugar baby, whatever you want to call it, of a very wealthy Chinese businessman. I’ve been on vacation with him in Europe since last month. He’s technically working remotely, but in practice, most of his work has been delegated to other people.

    Talk about leading by example.

    In 2025, STIHL generated €5.48 billion in revenue and employed 20,246 people worldwide. Founded by Andreas Stihl in 1926, the company is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Nikolas Stihl is the founder’s grandson.

    Undoubtedly never worked a day in his life. Which also, undoubtedly he would argue about and tell us about that day when he was seven, his grandfather made him carry a sack of nuts and bolts from one side of the factory to the other.

    I’ll bet that one day still sticks in his memory as if it was some form of torture.

    But he thinks everyone that does it daily for hours should do it more for free.

    I hope that this badly affects their company before he dies.

        You ever watch “My 600lb Life”?

        In almost every episode, there’s the super obese person that can’t do a thing for themselves. They couldn’t possibly get to and maintain that kind of weight on their own.

        There is always an enabler. A spouse, partner, caregiver, whatever, that is feeding them and keeping them in that condition.

        Sometimes the enabler doesn’t even realize they are doing it. Actually, a lot of the time.

        I don’t see sarcasm in your parents answer. I see them realizing that having a middle-class lifestyle is unknowingly enabling the billionaires. They exist, in part, because we allow them to.

        He’s making some points that might be valid, depending on how long a german work week is. Last I heard a friend from Bavaria was making thrice my salary doing a similar job. If he’s working a 15h week, that’d be extreme.

        I’m from Sweden where a 40 hour work week is the norm.
