Imagine being so full of yourself you call yourself a “business angel”
Angel investors are a thing.
Learning what an angel investor is hasn’t really changed my opinion on this guy. My opinion of him as an angel may have changed if the post were closer to “go home at noon today, we’ve got enough done and you deserve a break.” Instead his attitude is "stay later, work harder, and get that sweet sweet return of investment.
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?
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.
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
Some of us are nocturnal. His issue is that he thinks that anyone can stay productive for more than about 4 hours a day. That’s just an unrealistic expectation created by bullshit jobs that we can autopilot through for 8 hours a day because the dictators up top decided that was the best decision.
True. If you start in the evening that’s fair. I’ve lived like that before accepting that I’m cursed to the diurnal life by my nature. At that time I did the whole 18 hour days thing. I didn’t do by best work back then and it was killing me, and I grew out of it after college.
And instead of working himself he spents his so productive working time by writing linkedin posts.
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
3:30 AM is probably the best time to be driving on the Autobahn, too. Can’t believe nobody’s using it at that time.
Man discovers German labor laws, more at 11.
This is an especially stupid post coming from a guy working in Germany. As far as I know, they see leaving work early as a good thing because you were so productive you didn’t need an entire day of work to complete your tasks
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.
“Catching up on emails” is something you must do and can take a lot of time depending on your role and circumstances, though. My interepretation of this answer would depend on if the answer is for “what I’m doing right now” or “what I’ve been working on today”.
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
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.
