the only people who want to put in longer hours at the office have absolutely nothing to go home to.
they should be pitied instead of being vilified. drop them a “get well soon” message in social media should you encounter them.
Usually they’re also the people who don’t do anything… I don’t know how many I’ve run into and ask what they’re working on, only for them to give me a “catching up on email or cleaning up” response. They’re just wasting time, hoping to look good.
“Catching up on emails” is something you must do and can take a lot of time depending on your role and circumstances, though. My interepretation of this answer would depend on if the answer is for “what I’m doing right now” or “what I’ve been working on today”.

Some of us work our asses off because we’re passionate, but don’t pressure our coworkers to do the same… It’s a phase like most things are. If I ever get a management position in my current industry, I won’t expect after-hours responses/work…

i’m so sorry to hear that. hope you get something at home which can share in that abundant passion.
get well soon.
Imagine being so full of yourself you call yourself a “business angel”
Is he biblically accurate though?
If full of shit is biblical, yes.
It’s in keeping with biblical traditions for sure.
Angel investors are a thing.
Learning what an angel investor is hasn’t really changed my opinion on this guy. My opinion of him as an angel may have changed if the post were closer to “go home at noon today, we’ve got enough done and you deserve a break.” Instead his attitude is "stay later, work harder, and get that sweet sweet return of investment.
Damn guess i must be a business demon
Man discovers German labor laws, more at 11.
This is an especially stupid post coming from a guy working in Germany. As far as I know, they see leaving work early as a good thing because you were so productive you didn’t need an entire day of work to complete your tasks
Prosperity comes from inherited wealth.
People who work from a co-working space usually are in no place to lecture others about prosperity.
If you brag about how late you work in the evening, at least tell us when you start in the morning.
That would be a great reply:
“What time did you get in? I didn’t see you at all for the 13 hours I was there. Did you just show up to take a picture?”
Their golf is “business networking” and counts as work. Your bar time with coworkers and other business associates is goofing off.
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
Sounds like a dude who works all day without accomplishing anything and doesn’t understand how people can get work done quickly by being good at it.
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
3:30 AM is probably the best time to be driving on the Autobahn, too. Can’t believe nobody’s using it at that time.
It’s a tradeoff that hurts? Then go home you silly cunt
Desperately trying to justify wasting his life for nothing.
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.
And instead of working himself he spents his so productive working time by writing linkedin posts.
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?
city centre mall
how do my … 20 years of experience with explosives fit in there?
Tell me again how hard you’re working while you piss around on social media all day.
Tell me again how hard you’re working when you’re a grown ass adult who needs to stay until 18:30 every day to accomplish anything competitive
Some of us are nocturnal. His issue is that he thinks that anyone can stay productive for more than about 4 hours a day. That’s just an unrealistic expectation created by bullshit jobs that we can autopilot through for 8 hours a day because the dictators up top decided that was the best decision.
True. If you start in the evening that’s fair. I’ve lived like that before accepting that I’m cursed to the diurnal life by my nature. At that time I did the whole 18 hour days thing. I didn’t do by best work back then and it was killing me, and I grew out of it after college.
My office is a ghost town by the time I leave at 5. That’s how I know I’ve found a good place to work. (Also don’t have to be in the office every day)
I only stay that “late” because I get there later than almost everybody else.
$100 says he left immediately after taking these photos. Dr.Hustler PhD here is using precious company time to write a chapter’s worth of bullshit. Get back on that horse, it’s time to work.
Edit: I finally get it! This must have been what Rage Against the Machine meant when they said, “Can’t waste the day when the night brings a Hurst.” Still not sure how, “Rollin’ down Rodeo with a shotgun,” fits in this pro corpo anthem but maybe I’m just not a hard enough worker to get it. Bad tradeoff indeed.
You stay there and work, mr hustler, I have a life to live and enjoy
He probably only arrived at 12:00 and is complaining about everyone that has a live besides work (children, hobbies, volunteer jobs etc) and arrive early.
Considering there’s laws in Germany that prevents you from working more than 8 hours a day, hes either in violation of those laws or full of shit.
