    I highly suspect he’s full of shit, too. Most likely, he counts all kinds of non-work activities as work, because he does them in an executive-ly capacity. And, in general, claiming you’re a hyper-optimised work machine is fashionable in Silicon Valley.

    He works so much, he doesn’t even have time to find a new jacket. What a cringe lord.

      Only difference between this and a drug addict is the drug addict doesn’t generate value

        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.

        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.

    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.

      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.

      So Tom from Myspace?

      Most billionaires do keep out of sight, but that’s because they know when the revolution comes they don’t want to be the first against the wall.

    You don’t see it about single fathers either. Why harp on a gender factor that isn’t relevant when the real issue is class and wealth disparity?

      You’re getting hung up on the gender of a hypothetical person brought up as an example in this one instance, where I can’t see why any result would be cause for consternation when, as you say, the focus here should be on the class factor.

      I assume the example here was a poor woman in order to maximize juxtaposition of the example versus the subject matter of the cited article, which is about a rich dude. Whatever the reason, this seems irrelevant.

      Absolute facts, men are often ignored in this situation, were expected to be strong and handle everything by ourselves like we aren’t humans, someone’s child tryna figure what to do in life. The real enemy of the world is the class war and if we could realise that wed realise we are the 99%

    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

    Cool I can’t do that without thinking about my job either. Thinking about your job isn’t work unless you fuckers want to start paying for it.

          My uncle was told a long time ago if they went to lunch and talked about work at all to mark the hour as paid and he said he felt bad so didn’t. There is no way I’d not mark that these days.
