I don’t think we can ignore this. Calling him "senile old men" and pushing for 70-hour work weeks says everything about the mindset. When you've run a people sweatshop model for years, of course, you want more "billable" hours.

He seriously needs to step out of his echo chamber and get real advisors and a far better PR team. Even Instagram dog accounts manage their public image better.


Fuck him and people like him. There's no good reason to have a 70 hour work week other than insecure management needing it as a security blanket like some nine year old child. Researchers keep showing how human beings have a maximum productive time each week but instead he and his ilk want to go against this research for the sheer optics of it.


I suspect that he has worked a 40 hour day.


Day or week?


Time to unionize, folks.
