    No. 1 priority, Iñaki Ereño, the chief executive of one of the world’s largest health care companies, says if you’re obsessing over balance, your problem isn’t the hours. It’s the job.

    A healthcare ceo, no less

    Translation: “The rest of you losers should work your lives away so us billionaires can enjoy ours”.

    Classic sheltered rich white guy:

    "I have a lot of money and nobody contradicts me, therefore my every opinion and how I do (or pretend to do) things are always correct!

    Everyone claiming otherwise have less money, which proves them incorrect! I know this because having a lot of money is proof that I’m the best at everything and always right, which is the reason I have all that money, not any privilege I was born with or otherwise got handed to me that the vast majority of people do not!"

    Anyways, what’s the going rate for a guillotine these days?

    The truth is that CEOs DO have work life balance. They have a kid sick? Nanny takes care of it. Need an short notice dr. visit? Just take a long lunch. Need to take care of those errands you forgot about? Just take care of them because who the fuck is going to say anything.

    They get freedom to deal with life that us regular workers would get written up for and fired. Their position allows them to do whatever the fuck they want because they aren’t doing actual work.

      I wasn’t a CEO or anything, but I left my job where I could literally do all of those things because I thought if I worked hard and tried to improve things it would actually work out, I was so bored but I would totally go back now

      CEOs don’t do errands, they have people doing it for them. Imagine your entire life is just talking out your ass all day and any menial task can be handed off. Of course they think work life balance is overrated because what they call “work” most people would call “living the life”

    Says a guy who’s never worked a job in his life.
    When you can expense a 2+ hour lunch with your friends as “working”, he’s right.

      No no. He had to assign some… Wait, he told his admin assistant to assign someone to write denial letters.

    A CEO is someone with a cakewalk job, who, if they can be said to do any actual “work” at all, certainly doesn’t work full time doing it in the same sense that their employees do (how else would you have someone who is CEO of multiple companies?). They have absurd incomes that frees them from absolutely any financial concerns. They travel the world like it is nothing. They have time to spend talking to interviewers and on panels like this douche about how we don’t work enough.

    Any CEO tries to tell me that they are in the position they are because they “wake up and start work at 5 am, don’t sleep until 1am, never clocked out, blah blah blah” and that’s why they deserve to be paid more per year than I’ll make in my lifetime will be lucky to not limp away from that conversation.

    He’s right, it should be way unbalanced to the life side.

    Anyway, kill all billionaires
