Imagine being so full of yourself you call yourself a "business angel"
LinkedinLunatics
A place to post ridiculous posts from linkedIn.com
(Full transparency.. a mod for this sub happens to work there.. but that doesn't influence his moderation or laughter at a lot of posts.)
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.

Imagine not realizing that you have to take breaks to be productive. It's better to go home and forget about what you were working on and come back the next day. Can't tell you how many times I've struggled f with an issue and came back to it and figured it out right away.
That is the key thing that is wrong with the whole "work ethic" rhetoric. Working longer hours is not good for productivity unless you have a job that basically has no quality metric attached to anything you produce and quantity is just measured in time worked.
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.
What if instead of working, I spend two hours making a salty post about people not working?

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
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
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?
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.
Actually, he seems to be a guy who's just gallivanting all over the world and posting about it on social media, while others are doing the hard work.
Then again, all I have to go by is his LinkedIn profile...
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
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.
God I want the four day work week to become a thing. But I think they’ve been talking about it for like two decades now and it never seems to happen…
His work is probably just sending emails and booking meetings.
His work is THE HUSTLE and NETWORKING with the office manager about getting half-caff pods while she's trying to go HOME to her CHILDREN heh while he's grinding that INBOX ZERO productivity, carefully reading and NODDING INTENTLY - BROW STITCHED IN INTENSE CONCENTRATION as he scans every single business opportunity email and either archives (never delete a lead (NDaL life)) or replies to each one individually. Sleep or inbox zero? The choice is easy for the grinder
Overtime work for your own company? If you want, sure. It all comes back to your pocket after all. You do you.
Upset that your staff isn't participating in your non-existent work/life balance? It's only weird if they don't own an equal share of the business with you, or are not well compensated for the inconvenience.
Publicly shaming your staff on LinkedIn for spending time with family? Get ready to lose your top performers.
Edit: another lemming pointed out this is a co-working space. In which case, the above doesn't directly apply to the guy in OP's post, but is a familiar story nonetheless.
Imagine being so pathetic that work is your life. What a loser
Having worked in various countries of Europe with various different work cultures, I can guarantee you that at least in Software Development the productivity of working more than 8h a day regularly (you can get away with doing it for a week or two, but no further) is so much less than in with 8h/day or less, that you're literally producing less results with your work in a whole long-hours day of work than you do in an 8h day.
In simple terms, tired people do negative work and people working long hours regularly end up chronically tired.
Maybe it works differently for people doing stuff that's all about salesmanship (like Business Angel) for whom more hours means more "meets", but in my personal experience it definitelly works as I described for people actually doing heavy thinking work that has to actually work rather than merelly doing talkie-talkie with hard to compare results and where efficiency is near impossible to measure.
That's why Asia, working the longest hours, is the world's most productive region, right?
$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.
More hours weekly correlates extremely highly with a nation's poverty index and unemployment.
The only reason a business would want their workers to work more hours is because the management is lazy and cannot find additional staff to accomplish output goals.
Europe is not behind. It is ahead.
"Putting in the hours" isn't working. It's flexing your masochism
Yeah it’s virtue signaling for free market simps
i start working at 6:30 and work till 16:30 so i can see my children before they go to bed.
i'm just a burden for my company, right?
That office looks like a hotel lobby. Do people actually work on those couches and coffee tables? They’re probably leaving “early” to go see their chiropractor.
This guy probably still wonders why he was bullied in High School and College.
Business owners be like:
How dare these people not give me their labor for free. How greedy of them
And not detect a single drop of irony
The US has influenced the rest of the world so much. It's quite sad. Hopefully Trump's election will force Europe to put up some figurative walls and stop the flood of bullshit from that country.
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.
Sounds like my man needs to get off LinkedIn. Who tf "loves to talk and post about the hustle" in real life ?
I start work at 4 am. I do work 4a - 8p one day a week but some days I'm done by noon. Usually by 1:30pm. I'd love to show up at his office at 4:30 am and post, "where's the hustle?"
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.
It really gets me that "working hard" to increase capital is baked in as one of the strongest morals of our society.
My favorite part is when all these "hard workers" are actually just spending 12 hours/day at the office bullshitting and slacking off
