It is a lie that CEO’s publicize about themselves. He has two children. If he actually was working 7 days a week from the moment he woke up he would have never had a chance to get married and have children- which is the life his workers lead.
Musk used to brag about working 7 days a week one day, and the next day brag about how he never missed his children’s soccer games.
Most are sociopaths who definitely do not think about other people, so it’s probably true that he does nothing else but think about the work. Eg Elon
Musk brags about working 100-hour weeks … while being the CEO of five companies. That means that at best being a CEO of one company is a 20-hour-a-week part time job.
They don’t understand the actual concept of working. They think taking a call once in a while while out at a soiree counts entirely as work time.
Imagine workers would have that attitude…
“I had to sit through a 3 hour lunch at Nobu and a visit to a whorehouse with that dreadful bore Altman. What an exhausting 16 hour day.”
That’s because his work is thinking about how much money he could be making, not actually producing anything substantial. Those days are long gone
Wat a sad life.
A mother who works two jobs and can’t sit through a movie without thinking about her kids is also sad, but at least she does it for something good
i like how its counted as work just thinking about work for him. but it only counts as work for his employees when they are online under the supervision of their manager.
Online? They were probably forced back into office.
he should work while he sleeps in order to come up with a better gpu that doesnt fuckin suck ass
His company makes basically all of their money selling GPUs for AI. Gaming is an afterthought now.
Poor guy doesn’t even have time to take in a Coldplay concert!
Where does he have his affairs then?
In the executive suite bathroom.
Like the minions? No. He does it in the executive boardroom. Even when he’s having an affair, he still working. You know. Giving presentations and, uh, stuff.
These nutjobs will be on their deathbeds and think “I’m so glad I spent my life creating shareholder value”
Not
That sounds absolutely fucking miserable.
Only difference between this and a drug addict is the drug addict doesn’t generate value
Hey that copper pipe isn’t going to pawn itself
I question how much value this guy actually generates, too. Probably a normal amount for however many hours of work, but he and his immediate colleagues set the wages.
To argue the value of the man is one thing, no CEO is worth a billion times more than their employee. However, my point is moreso that the destructive nature of an addicted individual is only tolerated depending on whether that person has a certain value tied to them.
We would allow men like this to consume the world in favor of helping the drug addict.
I dunno, we shouldn’t view people in terms of generating value, but rather in terms of needs.
What the drug addict needs, is treatment. And this CEO needs a ton of it - to step down and foster a healthier work culture, where workplace democracy is present.
such success
Worse: they don’t point out how unhealthy it is to live this way and what terrible family life he must have.
The message of the headline “so you should, too.”
The problem is that it’s a lie.
I mean I would probably categorise myself as a bit of a workaholic but even I’m not that dedicated.
What’s he do on Sundays? You can never get anything done on Sundays even if you want to. Everybody else has a social life and is busy experiencing it, so they’re not processing orders, or completing paperwork. Which by extension means there is sod you can do as well.
You may as well go outside.
Fellow workaholic. (Most) Sundays I drive my ass 30 minutes to my friend’s house and we work until 11pm. The dream for both of us is to get something going so we can change jobs
Here’s something for your toolbox: our society commits idolatry constantly.
This guy?
Maybe he’s sleepwalking?
That’s hilarious though ngl
But this man never needs to worry about anything anymore. I’d probably “work every day” knowing that I have the pleasure of stopping whenever I want, and having everything you could ever want right at your fingertips at any given moment.
My boss says he has not taken a day off in 6 years.
Posts pics of him on a boat fishing with our CRO on a Monday . . .
Well, you know, he talked to somebody for two seconds on his phone while on vacation. ;\
Most CEOs are so useless, but their idea of “working” is just thinking about work and money all day but not actually doing anything.
A lot of Natural Managerial types think pointing a finger and saying “Do That” is the same as actually doing it, and they take credit for it because their Natural Managerial skills made it happen, not the actual work.
This isn’t just confined to workplace environments. Lots of people are like that in home/ family environments, relationships, friendships, etc.
isnt he a nepo-baby that loves trump.
The most upsetting part of this is how little time he spends fearing for his fucking life while his buddies’ news stations print articles like this.
