You're not a high value man if you don't work AT LEAST 60 hours a week.

Kinda wish people would use common sense when lawyers and business men talk about working 80 hours a week.

After working 7 hours, your productivity drops. Working 80 hours a week is just going to result in the person burning out. Either they're doing a job that doesn't require skills, or they're padding the hours.

Within firms and contractors, it is the latter. Projects will charge based on the amount of resources required (time and the rank of employee). shyt like having an thought in the elevator will be regarded as a billable minute.

Think that the people earning ridiculous money have convinced people that they're doing backbreaking work and long hours, when they're not.

Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
Currently I’m working 80-96 hours a week and I just put in my 2 weeks for my second gig cause my quality of life dropped. I’ve been sleeping on the wheel and I’m one of the few many New Yorkers who drives on a highway everyday for work. At this point I sleep at my second job. I don’t even need the second job honestly I’m just very greedy for money. My one job at the accounting firm pays me enough to pay my bills, live, eat and enjoy my life.

I guess this makes sense if you view your time here on earth as a competitive race.
Not a race. If I can’t get my pick of resources, I rely on a supplier ie gas, clothes, certain foods. The ball is in their court so I would have to play by their rules. If something cost too much my only option is to work myself harder and lose time on what’s important to me.

Self reliance is the infrastructure of autonomy IMO.

If the early bird gets the worm what’s left for the next guy? A left hand deal?

Does it make the birds life a race or does the sensitive economy of nature force it to prioritize the urgency of getting the worm?

If life isn’t competitive how do you see it?

Why do you maintain a position that puts you in a semi exclusive class if you don’t care?

A lot. Surgeons, corporate lawyers, wall street analysts, portfolio mmanagers, etc are indisputably high value men and every damn one of them works 70-80hr weeks.



The silverlining is that they get to ball out whenever they aren't working:ld:


These are also groups of men that get entire months off vacation each year also:ehh:

They signed up for them hours.... just because you have a high earning point does not make you a high value man or whatever the fukk yall be talking about

LMAO

Kev dont know about the tech industry then.

I know senior security engineers who are at or near 200k who barely work 30 hours a week.
But his “high value” doesn’t only include money, that’s just the base. For example, he doesn’t consider athletes high value and most of them are millionaires.

I work 60+ hours most weeks. A lil while back, I came to the realization that I’m getting paid for how long I’m here, not necessarily how hard I actually work or because of my knowledge and skills...

And I’m getting paid good :wow:

I stopped bussin my ass at work and just do what’s required of me, to the best of my abilities. Outside of that, I chill and take it easy.

Don’t ever work them type of hours unless the money is absolutely worth it, your pay reflects how hard you actually work, or you’re putting those hours into investing in yourself.
