Thinking about work is not the same as working. Maybe he should invest some money into therapy for his work anxiety.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Maybe I can start building up savings if I work overtime by zoning out of movies and thinking about stocking the grocery store for half an hour...

Hell wait, if I just think about being Nvidia CEO, can I split Jensen's salary?

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.

[–] Cenotaph@mander.xyz 63 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.”

Most are sociopaths who definitely do not think about other people, so it's probably true that he does nothing else but think about the work. Eg Elon

Honestly the CEO behavior sounds like a mental illness.

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.

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Very large companies run themselves by inertia alone.... until the c-suite fucks it up trying to make more 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 . . .

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Most CEOs are so useless, but their idea of "working" is just thinking about work and money all day but not actually doing anything.

I know your joking but I have had nightmares about work. I hate it.

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

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Dudes counting thinking about work as work.... Which means so many 40 hour jobs should be paid for 80 hour weeks then.

[–] frosty@pawb.social 12 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I need a Jira epic for "thinking about work" on my activity timeline.

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.

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 months ago

These are people that count a three hour business lunch as 'working'

These people also get mad about people using their phone whilst at work. Define irony.

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.

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 ;)))

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?

[–] Siresly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 4 months ago

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.

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?

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.

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.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Online? They were probably forced back into office.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Imagine believing that just thinking about your job, equates to "working". Give me a break.

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

[–] Siresly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 4 months ago

Won't someone please think of the poor billionaires. :(

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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.

If 20 hours of your 55 hour work week is "miscellaneous personal stuff", you have a 35 hour work week. 🤦🏻‍♂️
