LinkedinLunatics

$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.

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.

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.

You stay there and work, mr hustler, I have a life to live and enjoy

Imagine being so full of yourself you call yourself a "business angel"

Tell me again how hard you’re working while you piss around on social media all day.

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.

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.

And instead of working himself he spents his so productive working time by writing linkedin posts.

Sounds like my man needs to get off LinkedIn. Who tf "loves to talk and post about the hustle" in real life ?

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

Man discovers German labor laws, more at 11.

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.

What if instead of working, I spend two hours making a salty post about people not working?

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.

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.

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.

Sounds like he's lonely.

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.

It's a tradeoff that hurts? Then go home you silly cunt

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.

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?"

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…

Imagine being so pathetic that work is your life. What a loser

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.

His work is probably just sending emails and booking meetings.

Maybe they all leave as early as possible so as to not have to hang out with this dude.

That's why Asia, working the longest hours, is the world's most productive region, 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.
