In twenty years, the only people who will remember that you worked all the time are your children.
Reminds me of that song, “Cats in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin. That’s sort of what the song is about.
The dad never has time for his kid because he’s working all the time. But the kid wanted to be just like his dad.
And so the kid, when he’s grown up, ends up never having time for his dad. He’s grown up to be just like his dad.
If I get up at 4am, I’m going to bed at 8pm. So I’m not saving any time, I’m stealing time from my evening to work in the morning. That’s what it ultimately comes down to…stealing personal time to spend on working…
Just drive that forklift on 3 hours of sleep bro
That was a hell of a ride
If I’m getting up at 4am on the weekends it means I’m going to be running on ~3 hrs of sleep. Which is fine because at least I’ll get a few hours of quiet before everyone else wakes up. (Also why I stay up til 1am)
Do you sleep? You could be working those hours instead.
Why sleep when you can take drugs!
Blue collar: tobacco and energy drinks.
White collar: Adderall or coke.
I mean, yes, but don’t waste a good high on working
“Multifamily syndicator” seems like a euphemism for paying child support and alimony.
Though the reality is its when a group of investors become a landlord for a duplex. And with “$50 million in assets raised” it appears this guy convinced people to invest in a row of L.A. duplexes.
What a champ. A real market maker.
how to make money:
own property
charge poor people half their salary
???
write a blog telling poor people to work more
Don’t forget this step:
write a book on how the poor can get rich like you (by selling your book to other suckers)
It’s a real estate thing.
Yes if I was self employed I’d do that but not for a company.
If you have time to waste posting such crap on linkedin, working on week-ends won’t make you a tiny bit more productive.
It’s not about productivity, it’s about boot licking to get a better life for yourself, so you can get yourself a boot licker
This is also not about productivity because cramming in more work hours into the workweek and extending it will decrease the output per time, productivity, since there’s more time at a similar weekly output now. Productivity would automate or intensify work tasks which of course creates other problems.
I’m so tired of the race to make the rich richer work cult
Coming to the office naked “WILL set you apart”.
Punching your boss “WILL set you apart”.
Overtly stealling office equipmemt “WILL set you apart”.
Constantly bringing up the subject of your bowel movement “WILL [guess what…] set you apart”.
I’d say the quality of this guy’s advice is pretty well matched to the quality of the “argument” he provided to justify it.
Hey that’s not stealing, that’s taking
It’s called my yearly bonus and or raise.
“During my induction they told me ‘this is your computer’, so naturally I took it home”
“If you work for part of the day you still get the day off” is certainly an…interesting perspective.
It you just stop sleeping, you’ll be able to add 8 working hours per day! You can start at 11pm, stop at 7am and still have the entire day to work more at you’re job. It’ll add 40 working hours per week, 2080 hours or 260 working days for your boss!
It WILL set you apart
It won’t set you apart because, Jeffrey who does half the work of everyone else, is really good at selling himself and kissing ass. Your boss is just as overworked as everyone else is. And it’s basically running on vibes at this point in time. So Jeffrey is going to get that next promotion.
Have fun working on the weekends and in a couple of months, working under Jeffrey!
This assumes you have a 0 minute commute, so it only applies to remote workers, who are likely to be on salary anyway.
It also assumes you wake up and immediately begin working.
That’s only partially valid though. You gotta get up and get ready either way. I know some people don’t shower in the mornings and even worse: some don’t brush their teeth, but aside from the 1 minute job of putting on your clothes, you can’t count that.
It WILL set you apart
As being a gullible schmuck who takes advice from opportunist dumb fucks.
I work four days a week and take good care of myself. It sets me apart. Last I saw the numbers, my sales for the month were more than time and a half the second place employee’s. I am the stand out employee since my friend got a promotion. And I’m probably in line for the next one. If I work a fifth day, I have a mental breakdown. I promise. I Iove my job with everything in me, but I’ve never been stable working five days a week. I’m a high performance individual, and not overworking myself is essential to maintaining that.
Not overworking to maintain high performance is something missed or not cared about by so many companies.
It’s like taking care of your chickens gives them a better life so they produce better and more eggs so you make more money. It’s pretty obvious you take care of those you farm for your own benefit (as the rich farm us).
You could be distinguished like this guy in a UK Rail Accident report.
The driver was on his 59th hour of work that week in the final hours of his 12-hour night shift. Let’s not encourage overworking, in most jobs you won’t be that much more productive anyway, and in others you run the risk of making potentially fatal mistakes. (Luckily he made it out fine.)
This fucking dude in the picture fortunately has no responsibility beyond the investor money from other fucking idiots who think the economy, the planet, all our well-being, is an elaborate casino game.
I’ve lived this, I’m still recovering from nerve damage caused by some guy stepping out of a garden bed late at night in front of my tram wearing all black. Should’ve flattened the cunt, maybe folks will stop walking out when they read of the deaths in the news. It’s a huge issue here, and I’m glad I don’t drive trams any more, I make 70% of my previous earnings for 1% of the bullshit, and I work maximum 4 days/wk now.
Edit: nerve damage caused due to shoulder sublux during panic emergency braking.
Look into Hours of Service for US truck drivers.
70 hours per 8 days, up to 14 hours working per day with 11 of those driving.
There’s a required 30 minute break before you reach 8 hours, but a couple years ago they redefined it such that it just had to be 30 minutes not driving. So now the time I spend unloading the truck at the destination counts as a “break” for me.
That’s the federal rules, but my state has its own HOS. (These can apply when not moving across state borders, as the federal government only has jurisdiction over INTERstate commerce). The state HOS is 80 hours in 8 days, 16 hours working, 12 driving. No breaks needed.
But, but if you never leave work, imagine…
