    will pull 14 hour days 7 days a week for 10 years

    I mean, sure, they will, but they also spend half of that time socialising, posting on Twitter, going to the gym and generally living life while claiming to be on the clock. Their “70 hours a week” have nothing to do with the “70 hours a week” of an actual working person.

      Rich people still work hard. I know that hating rich people is the entire point of this comment, but suggesting that most senior business leaders aren’t absolute workaholics is absurd. Every successful lawyer is an absolute workaholic.

      That’s literally the reason the guy from the article believes as he does. He does actually work that much. The weird and fucked up part is him wanting that to be the norm

          if you dedicate every single hour possible to being productive you’re going to burn far sooner than later, and telling people otherwise is going to provoke a lot of pain for no gain

          That’s why I said this same thing

          The weird and fucked up part is him wanting that to be the norm

          Why do you think this is an argument? Did you just stop reading at the first sentence?
