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.
What’s infuriating is that having no work-life balance is promoted as a positive. Sure there are people who are really devoted to their work and thrive on it, but that should be seen as voluntary and not expected. Working long hours also doesn’t necessarily mean you are working efficiently or using your full potential the entire time.
It's meant to deify these CEOs. Gullible schmoes see this and think "well that makes sense, he spends every hour of his day working. That's three times more than me! No wonder he makes a million times my salary! See, the only reason I'm not making billions is because I don't have the divine skills and talent to work on my company all day." (Or, "I choose to have a work-life balance cause I don't mind making a little less money")
These CEOs have PR teams dedicated to slipping out stories like these so it keeps the CEO looking like a king.
Also to convince gullible idiots to put in more hours and make more sacrifices because "that's what it takes to make it to the top" not realizing that sacrificing your time and energy for a multi-billion dollar corporation won't make you a billionaire. Rich people love the "hustle and grind" culture because it convinces people that if they just keep producing for the machine, the trickle down will finally come
Ugh. People wasting company time by thinking about their health and welfare and if they can afford their bills. When they should be thinking about the company. Won't someone think of the profits. Theft. Theft all of it! Makes me so sick I have to take a mental health day away from checking my investments. /s /s /ssssssssss
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%
Here's something for your toolbox: our society commits idolatry constantly.
he cant even sit through a movie without thinking about his $4.2 trillion tech giant
I'm so close to starting to feel sad for him
Dudes counting thinking about work as work.... Which means so many 40 hour jobs should be paid for 80 hour weeks then.
I need a Jira epic for "thinking about work" on my activity timeline.
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.
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.
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.
“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.”
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.
Thinking about work is not the same as working. Maybe he should invest some money into therapy for his work anxiety.
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
Won't someone please think of the poor billionaires. :(
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.
Lol nvidia CEO couldn't do my job for an hour.
I am absolutely confident that I could do his job for an hour.
The empty chair in his office does his job just as easily, too.
You can tell me all about the meetings and deals they have to worry about but ultimately, by the time a company gets that large, it could run itself without a c-suite for quite some time.
Pathetic! Is this nvidio guy an amateur? i think about work while i SLEEP. i'm easily putting in 140+ hours PER WEEK. is this guy browsing tictac while on the shitter or what? get your numbers up lil bro, someday you'll make it big. i swear nobody wants to work anymore, bunch of entitled slackers
/s
I know your joking but I have had nightmares about work. I hate it.
Was there even an article to go with this headline, or do we just publish any off–hand remarks made by rich tech dudes now?
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.
Omg guys I'm so addicted to working! I just can't stop workinggggg I think I'm addicted with how much I workkkk! I'm just so exploitable ;)))
I'm definitely not at the golf club while I write this.
I do wonder what these guys count as work. It's like when elon musk said he works 14 hours a day 7 days a week, while also playing a lot of overwatch and binge watching anime while caring for his child.
Sounds like mental illness but its epic because money.
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 . . .
Most CEOs are so useless, but their idea of "working" is just thinking about work and money all day but not actually doing anything.
If you’re in a position to walk away from almost anything you are doing at work and have someone else do it instead, and you’re still paid, it’s not work. If you are in this position, have family, and work 7 days a week, you have a self-regulation problem. See a fucking therapist.
He works so much, he doesn't even have time to find a new jacket. What a cringe lord.
These are people that count a three hour business lunch as 'working' though. Also, I don't give a fuck about people choosing to work themselves to death. It's the ones that don't have a choice that I care about.
This guy?
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.
if you are in that position and still cant fucking stop, it's time to see a psychiatrist
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.
Replace "4.2 trillion tech giant" with "the future of humanity" and that's basically me with depression.
TIL I'm the CEO of Worrying About the Sky Falling Inc. (because the sky really is about to fall lol)
If i made that kind of money you wouldnt see or hear from me for a year after which i retire and spent my life without being poor for once and just enjoying being hassle free for the rest of my life.
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.
