A CEO’s work is not the same as the ground level workers and their daily struggles. No matter how trash you are, you’ll still get a golden parachute. The same cannot be said about the rest of the people you exploit beneath you.

Working through a weekend is fine when you take the next month off in some tropical locale.

The types of people who do not prioritize work life balance tend to have at least one, if not multiple, divorces and children who hate them.

And I news just in, the CEO of a Fortune 500 Healthcare company was found dead from cardiac arrest. His family said he loved to work all hours and rarely saw him.

Lmao it’s madness. The shit they talk about giants doing in fairy tales is the shit companies do in real life. Bleed you till you’re dead, then grind your bones for bread. Dude died at an Amazon warehouse and workers were told to work around him. Some guy keels over in another place and they wouldn’t even let people go to the poor bastard’s funeral. They guilt trip into not taking their time, happy to let it die on the vine because it doesn’t roll to the next year.
Everyone’s fighting over crumbs while other people are using your goddamn salary for a quick vacation with their mistress. Absolute madness.

But his weekend isn’t filled with the chores the normals have to do. No food shopping, no cleaning, no meal planning, no laundry etc. Make no mistake we are still working its just a different type of unpaid labor.

An old company I used to work for had a very similar CEO, he worked 7 days a week and explained why we should be happy to do the same but worked from home on Friday (after telling everyone else they can’t) and was so busy on these Fridays that he couldn’t answer emails, he would then work all weekend but again was so busy he wasn’t available.

There are mixed messages in the article.
1) If you want to build a business, run for political office, or be a C-Level executive, then you are 100% on the clock with only meals off.
2) If you want to become successful as an adult, then you should concentrate on working hard in your 20’s and not on your social life.
3) This one is inferred from the article: Don’t have interests outside of work if you wish to be valued at work by executives. So, have the other parent raise the kids or don’t have kids. Don’t waste time in volunteer activities such as coaching, PTA, church, scouting/4H, or other activities that inhibit you from working at all hours.

Why does anyone listen to these sociopaths?
They’re mentally diseased. All of them have at least one serious disorder, and usually multiple.
Those lunatics are the ones with the ‘red flags’, and they should be shunned, not admired.
NecessaryButNotSuff on
Even if I love my job, at the end of the day, I goddamned stop. Because most work is still hard and you still goddamned need rest. If you don’t have anything else worthwhile in your life and are okay with doing more work for no more pay, then by all means be that guy.
C-suite types work longer for the same reason they wanted RTO. They get treated like gods at work but treated like a family member at home and most are desperate for the extra validation of being surrounded by subservients. And can’t really imagine contributing the same real effort as, say, a spouse at home.

“Works through weekends” cos his life is undoubtedly not a rigid 8am – 5pm 40+ hour work week. The generous over-compensation for his “hard and stressful” work also probably helps a ton.

I don’t know this guy so I won’t defend his claims.
1. People care about work-life balance now because they have nothing else or very little (not invested in the system).
2. I lived with a multi-millionaire CEO for two weeks (family holiday). He was not on holiday. I think the only time he wasn’t using a phone/laptop was at restaurant dinners. I can absolutely believe the claim he happily works through weekends.

If you have a job you love, you will happily work through the weekend, because it doesn’t feel like work. However, a CEOs version of “work” is highly different than a salaried employee making $60k annually. Nobody is trying to sacrifice any level of happiness in their lives where there isn’t lore compensation for the effort.

Linkario86 on
Oh… so many factors…
First off the work. It’s very much different from what the average employee does. All he does is some meetings, recommend shit to the board, and execute the boards Will. Often it’s decisions they make together. Dude has far better support structures within the company than any employee has.
Second, the pay. Whole different world what this guy gets compared to employees. Most people could retire somewhere between 1-5 years of getting such salaries and pay packages.
Third, Dude is fine off, not matter what. As I said, he could retire and live very comfortably. No existential crisis from job loss. No problems getting hired again. He can perform like complete garbage and still get a golden parachute. There is nothing that would end up making this man poor, or even somewhat close to upper middle class. He’s wealth is way beyond that.
Fourth, relaxation opportunities. Getting off work, right to a massage, maybe some spa, everything done for him, personal staff for house work, kids, and general household care. Never seen his car without wheels from changing them, or a garage from the inside.
Fifth, pretty sure lies. He might be fine working one weekend, but not every week, every month or even every half a year. Probably not even once a year.
