That's cool, but when you say shit like this, when you position yourself as an enemy to normal people, you certainly have no right to get upset when people say they want to treat you like an enemy.
One of the best aspects of the presence of media everywhere is that these ghouls think they're so smart that they have to express their opinions. And the more they talk the more everyone realises they are mediocre at best, they're working overtime to dispel the notion of meritocracy lmao
I want to treat him like an enemy.
Classic psychopatic traits.
I wonder what the percentage rate of psychopatic traits are in CEO's compared to the general public.
Found this article that refers to numbers in the 20th percentile. Like prisoners.

People who say shit like this didn’t get beat up enough as a child.
It's never to late to learn a harsh lesson.
Since %95+ CEOs dont actually work at all, but just pretend to; no wonder he doesnt gets tired so doesnt needs to rest much as rest of us.
Their idea of work is to hire a bunch of smart people, underpay them and then terrorize them that they are about to lose their jobs at any minute, then demand ideas. Sift through the ideas, choose the best, and tell everybody to do that. When it succeeds, you declare record profits, pocket a billion dollar windfall, and lay off a few thousand losers to celebrate.
It's kind of nice of them to draf target marks on themselves.
Like they know people wouldn't actually be working for their shitty asses if it wasn't for the money, right? They won't even be doing the "work" that they are doing if they were making $15 an hour.
Years ago, I was in middle management for a Fortune 100 company, and some HR guy from HQ was doing some sort of presentation, and mentioned that money was not the prime motivator for workers, and I had to interrupt him to dispute that. I said, "Tell everybody on Friday that starting next week, they'll be working for free, and see how many people show up to work on Monday."
He tried to argue about it, but nobody in the room agreed with him. We understood what he was trying to say, that there are other motivations that employees will respond to, but money is obviously the KING motivator. You can't just dismiss it with an obviously wrong premise like workers don't care about money. That's just a C-Suite fantasy that they're trying to convince us to adopt.
they are pushing for it. I have seen thirties and even twenties. If you can't have a roof over your head and food in your belly in a decent city and be able to retain that over your life, whats the point? They go after the young with the laughable, just get some experience and you will soon make adequate pay. Except we won't hire you for this inadequate amount unless we can't find anyone with experience to fill the role.
God these new plantations somehow suck worse than those of old.
I worked 50-100 per week for years and after 60 hours or so there is very little "life" left to be had, the time remaining is almost all dedicated to chores.
What do you want to bet that this guy has had a staff his whole life and never had to deal with laundry, cooking, shopping, cleaning, bills, or any of the other dozens of tasks necessary in an average person's week?
A billionaire's life consists of nothing but work and leisure with serfs to do everything else, so screw him and his condescending "work- life" lecture. He doesn't even know what that means.
And his "work" and your "work" are WILDLY different.
Do you not clock inl for the time you spend dining with your coworkers at a Michelin star restaurant? That totally counts, and should go on your time card...
I'll admit to never being c-suit, or even a manager, but even the most corporate cock gobbling, sickophantic [sic], capitalist worshipping propaganda outlets describe the average work week of a CEO as completely worthless to society and entirely free of actual work. These people, and i use the word lightly, couldn't even imagine lifting a box let alone doing an actual day's work.
seems everytime an emergency pops up like car repairs, I'm set back to $0 and suddenly working 6+ days/week become meaningless and tiring. at this point, just working the rest of my life towards cars and rent. almost hoping for a disability at this point cuz it's the only way to retire early

He "happily works through weekends"...because his idea of what "work" is isn't really fucking work.
He mentioned reading the newspaper and sitting there reflecting on things as work.
Some of these assholes consider the commute or exercise as work time. Must be frickin' nice.
To be completely fair, commute time should be billable for everyone. But should I have to work during those hours? Absolutely not.
Was in a startup where the founder did this. I started to copy and commit things while entering the train and scheduling call in transport. He forbade us to do that and kept doing small hours buy never spoke about it to us again XD
Flyin around some tropical "resorts" with suspiciously young staff, fuckin models to create an army of my progeny, shitposting on twitter... but stock went up, and I made money! I must be doing that working thing! I'm working for like 6 companies full time as their boss! -- Elon Musk and other Billionaire shitheads.
You need to be Luigied Mr CEO.
Says the guy with work life balance
Parasites shouldn't give their opinion on anything. They don't matter.
Am I being too extreme if the first thing that springs to mind is ‘kill him’?
Sign of the times, really. I just hope more workers start to play hardball, the rich are getting much too bold

It’s easy to say when you’re a CEO and “work” consists of a series of meetings over lunch that you don’t pay for and making decisions based on data that has already been processed and analyzed by multiple layers of underlings.
I'm not sure he even does that, according to the article, he goes to meetings from business open to close then fires off a few emails here and there. This dude's most marketable skill is filling space in a chair while people talk around or at him for 10 hours. Fucking billionaires.
I guarantee that several times a week at least one of those “meetings” is a €500/plate lunch that lasts 3 hours and involves maybe 5 minutes of business talk.

Get fucked, parasite.
Pay us like you pay yourself and we might agree.
I also don’t believe in work-life balance.
I believe in life-work balance.
If you don’t have time for work you shouldn’t be expected to do it.
There are kinda 3 things really... Job-Chores-Leisure. If you're working so much all you have time for is chores, that's not balanced, but if you never do those and only leisure, you're also losing.

Sounds biased. I'd say he wants you to work yourself sick so he can bill hospitals.
How many times are we gonna have to teach you guys this lesson?
Meanwhile all that extra work for the love of the job means nothing. There'll be no raise at the end of the year in these difficult times because . They've shown the world loyalty means nothing and you'll be replaced with AI out robots the moment they think it's possible and cheaper.
Such rage bait and they know it.
Really? Because from my perspective it’s only possible if you’re strong enough to set and stand up for your boundaries.
I think that anyone who makes more than 500k/yr should be banned from commenting on the work-life balance of others, and anyone that shits on work-life balance will have all their bank accounts seized and immediately put into an account that funds unemployment in their home state.
Ugh, stop making your mental issues my problem.
Bunch of weirdos.
I'd like to see these loudmouth motherfuckers actually put in a camp and forced to do real work, then I'd like for them to report back to me about work life balance.
Shut up money hoarder.
