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...
"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.
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.)
I work four days a week and take good care of myself. It sets me apart. Last I saw the numbers, my sales for the month were more than time and a half the second place employee's. I am the stand out employee since my friend got a promotion. And I'm probably in line for the next one. If I work a fifth day, I have a mental breakdown. I promise. I Iove my job with everything in me, but I've never been stable working five days a week. I'm a high performance individual, and not overworking myself is essential to maintaining that.
It's all possible with a dash of cocaine and amphetamines ..... well maybe not a dash but a face full of the stuff.
Wasn't this the logic of the medical guy who figured out that doctors could be placed on call for 12 hour shifts ... and didn't it turn out that he was addicted to cocaine and morphine.
Does this person think working shifts are just magic? You show up at 4am on a Saturday unscheduled and they just pay you with no complaint? People just get as much unauthorized overtime as they want?
I understand that's not the kind of work he's suggesting, but it is the kind of work that the vast majority of us do. Stop trying to normalize the hustle. We need to go back to RESPECT for the 9-5 working person and pay them enough to have comfortable lives
It you just stop sleeping, you'll be able to add 8 working hours per day! You can start at 11pm, stop at 7am and still have the entire day to work more at you're job. It'll add 40 working hours per week, 2080 hours or 260 working days for your boss!
It won't set you apart because, Jeffrey who does half the work of everyone else, is really good at selling himself and kissing ass. Your boss is just as overworked as everyone else is. And it's basically running on vibes at this point in time. So Jeffrey is going to get that next promotion.
Have fun working on the weekends and in a couple of months, working under Jeffrey!
I work 4 hours on Sundays but get paid for those hours as if I was working the whole day. I have Wednesday off instead which makes grocery shopping much more enjoyable because the supermarket is near empty during off peak hours
If you work 16 hours on weekdays, you would have worked for 2 years in 1 year. You would earn twice the salary of the average person (citation needed), and will retire at 30. It WILL set you apart. It will also put you in a hospital and an early grave, but it WILL set you apart.
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.
I recognize that Lemmy is largely anti-capitalist, and anti-work, and would hate this idea. But for people trying to better their position in life, move up in the class system we have, build a new career, or become exceptional in the one they're in, this sort of advice is actually helpful. It is possible, hell, it's relatively common, for people to bust their asses and improve their positions in life. Complaining that it's not fair doesn't get you anywhere, even though it's true.
