This is dumb. But just to talk corpo for a bit (because that is the reality for many of us): early in your career, putting in extra study time (or just making time on the clock if possible) will give you a leg up for certain kinds of white collar work. Just because you'll know more.

But doing work on weekends will set you apart as a damned sucker who can be used by others to make career moves. So do that if you want to feel someone's pump in your eye socket as they trample you to reach for their dream job.

You're never going to get promoted to an easier job if you've proven you can build like 2x more widgets than your co-workers.

You'll get to a better job by showing up with your co-workers to the boss' house and asking nicely.

In twenty years, the only people who will remember that you worked all the time are your children.

Reminds me of that song, "Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin. That's sort of what the song is about.

The dad never has time for his kid because he's working all the time. But the kid wanted to be just like his dad.

And so the kid, when he's grown up, ends up never having time for his dad. He's grown up to be just like his dad.

It will set you apart. People will think of you as 'that maniac with no life'.

Do you sleep? You could be working those hours instead.

Why sleep when you can take drugs!

I mean, yes, but don't waste a good high on working

I use that reasoning to cram more time playing Baldur's Gate 3.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

If you play bg3 from 4am to 8am that gives you the whole day to play more bg3!

You could be distinguished like this guy in a UK Rail Accident report.

The driver was on his 59th hour of work that week in the final hours of his 12-hour night shift. Let's not encourage overworking, in most jobs you won't be that much more productive anyway, and in others you run the risk of making potentially fatal mistakes. (Luckily he made it out fine.)

This fucking dude in the picture fortunately has no responsibility beyond the investor money from other fucking idiots who think the economy, the planet, all our well-being, is an elaborate casino game.

If I get up at 4am, I'm going to bed at 8pm. So I'm not saving any time, I'm stealing time from my evening to work in the morning. That's what it ultimately comes down to...stealing personal time to spend on working...

It WILL set you apart

As being a gullible schmuck who takes advice from opportunist dumb fucks.

"Multifamily syndicator" seems like a euphemism for paying child support and alimony.

Though the reality is its when a group of investors become a landlord for a duplex. And with "$50 million in assets raised" it appears this guy convinced people to invest in a row of L.A. duplexes.

What a champ. A real market maker.

Don't forget this step:
