    Hey, bud. I can’t leave the office after just getting there to go lift weights. I also have zero control over 80% of the meetings I attend. Dude has no idea how privileged he is.

      Saying NO is a superpower!

      “Hey, Sanctus. Where are you going? I was hoping you’d finish that report before noon?”

      NO

      “Uh, OK? Guess I’ll see you at the meeting with our main customer then.”

      NO

      See how easy that is?

        Mate, it’s impossible to work with you, we’ll have to make you redundant, I’m sorry.

        NO

        Its really easy until everyone complains I’m saying no, my review scores drop, and I get fired. Idk what kind of heaven exists out there where you can actually say no without the rest of the office dogpiling you like rabid corporate zombies but its not the place I work at. I could say no once, that person hold a vendetta, and give me a 1/10 on my review, costing me a raise. Its absolutely a fucking Klingon culture up in here.

      Wake up at 5:30 and not have to deal with any bullshit from anyone else until 2pm sharp. 8.5 uninterrupted hours for long walks, “deep work,” and weightlifting. You know, the typical work day.

      This schedule is completely unrealistic even with privilege

      No meetings until 2pm? Doesn’t matter what industry you’re in, guarantee you interact with industries that work 8-4 and will not bend over backwards to schedule you at the end of their day. Like does this person just not go to the doctor? Or deal with banking issues?
