"everyone talks about how "hard" they're working and grinding."

Oh yeah? Who? Im willing to bet that everyone in the toxic "self help" podcasts he listens to talks about how hard he should be grinding while the people at his office live normal lives.

Good work ethic is when you spend every waking moment working instead of spending time with your family, yourself, your pets, your friends, doing self care, cooking for yourself and/or family.

Sounds like a jolly old life that doesn't it? Sure would love to do that every day until I die.

This guy is a certified nutjob.

Overtime work for your own company? If you want, sure. It all comes back to your pocket after all. You do you.

Upset that your staff isn't participating in your non-existent work/life balance? It's only weird if they own an equal share of the business with you, or get (very) well compensated for the inconvenience.

Publicly shaming your staff on LinkedIn for spending time with family? Get ready to lose your top performers.

And instead of working himself he spents his so productive working time by writing linkedin posts.

The other day I was driving on the Autobahn at 3:30am and there were literally no cars around me. These Germans always go on and on about how the Autobahn is so fucking great, but then they are not using it? You have to be really stupid to not see how that illustrates why the entire country is going to shit

It really gets me that "working hard" to increase capital is baked in as one of the strongest morals of our society.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

My favorite part is when all these "hard workers" are actually just spending 12 hours/day at the office bullshitting and slacking off

Odds on he went into the office at 18:30 to take a photo of how empty it was so he post on LinkedIn about what a grinder he is.

I mean does anybody other than blowhards full of nothing but air use or care a out LinkedIn? The last job they tried to push on me was working in a local five and dime in the city centre mall. Not disrespectinf the fine people who work there, but how do my master in thermodynamics and 20 years of experience with explosives fit in there?

It's honestly the best way to connect with tech recruiters.

If you said that terrorists tired to recruit you, it would kind fit, morbid it may be.

Of course! There are also trolls that post outlandish stories and then incredulously post screenshots of said stories to reddit or lemmy

Fuck this idiot.

Imagine spreading propaganda that hard work for someone else will get you anywhere anymore.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

I would feel so sad for these people, if they weren't trying to make everyone else's lives worse.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Everybody probably left when they saw him walk in and didn't want to be around him.

Imagine being so pathetic that work is your life. What a loser

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This reminds me of a person I worked with who would wait until the evening to reply to most emails. I assumed this was so at every morning standup they could say they were waiting on someone else to get back on something.

Pro tip - when replying to an email, schedule it to be sent at 8pm so they know you've got that sigma grindset

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Outlook will display the time "sent" as the time you hit send. Then they receive it at the scheduled time, and will be marked as the "received" time. Two different time stamps.

Keep it in draft, schedule a script to click the button for you.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

True, but how could I do that on my work computer without admin access? I was barely allowed to install AutoHotKey.

Also not allowed to keep the computer running 24/7.

Well that's disappointing. What even is the point in scheduling a message then?

Surely there's some way to spoof it, but I guess I've never really tried

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What even is the point

Scheduling correspondence generally falls into one of a couple categories:

  1. This message contains information you don't want them to have until after an event. Raises, Layoffs, Reorgs
  2. It's 2am and you don't want to bother them at this hour. (more important for Slack)
  3. They're not in our timezone and you want it to hit the box when they're fresh to work on it. You don't want them to start a sprawling project at 4:30 on a Friday.
  4. It's the weekend and there's no reason for them to worry about it until Monday.

Trust me, I had to test it to see if I could use it, and was quite disappointed.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Sounds like something I'd do lmao

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

What if instead of working, I spend two hours making a salty post about people not working?

God I want the four day work week to become a thing. But I think they’ve been talking about it for like two decades now and it never seems to happen…

There are too many idiots and bootlickers in the US for progress to be easy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

I'd happily work until 6:30 on Thursday if it meant I'd get Friday off completely, with no less pay

I the USA the fight for a $15 livable minimum wage has taken so long the living wage is now $25 an hour.

That office looks like a hotel lobby. Do people actually work on those couches and coffee tables? They’re probably leaving “early” to go see their chiropractor.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

yeah most coworking spaces have plenty of small personal offices. walk through those and you'll probably at least one poor engineer working unpaid overtime

Business owners be like:

How dare these people not give me their labor for free. How greedy of them

And not detect a single drop of irony

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's a coworking space, which means he's not dunking on his employees, just other randos who have a life.

I recently got scolded for saying we shouldn't work nights and weekends for free at work. (Everyone is salary).

The boss was telling me it demoralizes my coworkers to say that. And it "doesn't hurt me if they decide to put in extra time".

The most naive theory of labor, or just lying?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Working anti-cyclical in the shared office space is actually a good idea. Less distractions, better use of the heating.

If you want to hustle, you can totally do shift work hours.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

That’s not an office. That’s a hotel lobby. I do not envy anyone who needs to work in this co-working space. It’s like someone took the idea of a loud distracting open concept office, and replaced all the functional furniture and equipment with cushions and wall art.
