I’m not joking about this: You really will see that said routinely in the Breitbart comments section.
Has no one mentioned Favorite Nazi Nick Fuentes, finally realizing he’s dedicated his life to a lying sack of shit?
Ah, man, if only someone had filed and lost almost 60 lawsuits about this very issue, maybe he could have figured it out…
Poor Nick. It’s like a combination of two old adages: Never meet your heroes, and when they show you who they are, believe them.
When you consider raising children is 168 hours/week, 90 doesn’t sound so bad!
I guess if you find the work really rewarding, or if you really like the people you work with, spending most of your time at it might be what you want to do. Especially if you are self-employed. Women who can make it on their own must really piss him off.
Having worked in corporate America for 35 years, I will say that, absolutely, career-oriented people, who want to advance rapidly, and/or work in high-pressure, high-paying fields and companies (like being a consultant at McKinsey), put in crazy hours.
They work nights, they work weekends, and 90 hours a week is not uncommon for that type of person, in that type of industry, in the slightest.
(FWIW, while I am not a “type A” personality, was never super career-driven, and don’t work in a field, like finance or consulting, where the truly big money is, it’s not been uncommon for me to have to work 60+ hours in a week for periods of time, during particular projects, but it’s not ever been the norm for me.)
Yeah. That’s the long and short of it. And “Why don’t women treat me like a god”. Insecure donnie, picked an insecure running mate.
Oddly, he almost outshines donnie in the stupid asshole category. Almost.
90÷7=12.8 hours every day. I’d rather live hungry and dirty under a bridge.
Same here. But again, it’s a norm in certain fields. It’s a stupid norm, but that’s a different story.
Multiple studies have shown that productivity drops rapidly once you go beyond 50 hours of work during the week. It might be the norm in some industries, but how many of those extra hours are actually quality hours?
Probably depends on how many of them are spent in meetings.
While he makes a lot more money now, I have a friend (we aren’t close) who was bragging about his salary a few years ago, and being a bit of a dick about mine being lower.
He regularly worked 80-90 hours a week. He still does.
He got pretty pissed off when I pointed out that my 40 hour week was still more than half his salary, and I’d make more than him if I took on a second full-time job but at least I get to take vacation, see my kid, engage in hobbies and fuck my spouse.
He’s gone through several relationships where he was dumped because he made no time for partners, even though he does want a wife and kids, he drinks and smokes like crazy and frankly is aging poorly. But, oh, the money!
Priorities, I guess.
money makes people stupid
Some people start out stupid and fall down hill rapidly. Money just greases the slide.
Depends on the job. I once had a salaried job that was HIGHLY seasonal (fashion show production in NYC).
For three weeks in the spring and three weeks in the fall, we worked 100+ hours a week and basically lived at work, we’d bring in our suitcases - the workplace had showers installed for these weeks.
But for the rest of the year, it was the cushiest job I’ve ever had……come in at 10 or 11, leave at 4…plus lots of long boozy restaurant lunches.
Totally worth it.
In a lot of industries I think such practices are abusive. Resident doctors are still forced to work long hours which is bad for both them and their patients. It’s quite common for programmers in the video game industry to be subjected to crunch time when the release date of the game they’re working on gets close. There are so many industries and work environments that any blanket statement will typically have some exceptions though. I’m in HR and I keep banker’s hours for the most part. During my busy season, open enrollment, I might work about 50-55 hours a week. I don’t feel as though I’m suffering from fatigue or an abusive work environment, but if I were working those hours every week I imagine I’d feel a bit different.
I agree - a lot of high profile law and consulting firms, such as McKinsey, overwork their entry level associates in a way that resembles a hazing ritual….a way to weed out the folks that are too “soft” to deserve the big bucks that come with higher level positions in those companies.
The job I described above wasn’t like that, it was very high paying relative to similar jobs and the long hours were necessary, as there just weren’t enough people with both the skill set and familiarity with the operation to allow them to spread the work load thinner during the busy times.
What I remember about those long days and weeks was that at the end of each project, I felt a strong sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, even though I was tired.
And did I mention that it paid way better than similar jobs? I had another job offer that I had tentatively accepted when I got offered this job……which literally paid twice as much as the job I was ready to accept.
Exactly. It’s hazing. The “I had to go through this, so they should have to go through it, too” attitude has always pissed me off.
Perhaps a discussion of careers with long working hours might be better in another thread…?
Looks like someone else has climbed onto the tchochke-marketing wagon.
