Yeah, on average they do around 60
Its important to note what they consider work too. I'm sorry but spending half of your day getting to meetings and the other half in them is not the same as fixing a layer 3 issue on a critical app, or laboring all day in the sun at 60 hours a week. I don't subscribe to the idea that work is work. If that were true nobody would mind being a traffic controller over an office administrator.
But work is work. If you're doing it for the benefit of a business only because they're paying you to do it then that is the literal definition of work. Just because it's not hard work doesn't mean it's not work?
Besides, that number isn't self-reported numbers, it's from a study I read recently, and it was included as a tangentially related point. I could try and track it down if you like.
It's also important to note that not every CEO is a billionaire of a megacorp. There are millions of small business owners who are also CEOs.
This logic is going to be lost on these anti-work nerds. All business is bad. All workers are gods and all CEOs are lazy scum making billions off the toil of their hoard of exploited office drones. This place...
Oh boy, this will look funny next to my reply.
how does that corporate business casual loafer taste?
I don't think being inflammatory is helping the situation. I've been surprised before, and just because I'm net negative doesn't mean lurkers haven't read it and listened.
Every day, I see more and more people on Lemmy complaining about Lemmy.
This place is getting more like reddit all the time!
Fully agree with you, the black and white thinking and the hyperboles used are putting me of Lemmy.
Unfortunately it's not a "Lemmy issue" it's an "Internet issue." You're more likely to get engagement from those that disagree rather than from those who already agree.
I don't like it either, but to be honest reddit was about the same.
