I propose we swap and only work 2 days a week.

Narayana Murthy being born was a mistake, I hope someone rectifies it.

To be fair, some of my weekends have been a mistake.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 hour ago

He's absolutely right. That's why he should come work for me on his weekends. I'll pay him $15/hr!

What? He won't work for that? Lazy CEO.

These people, like Musk, think laying on a couch with a pen in your hand pondering about random shit to be hard work. That's where they come up with this kind of BS. That and being from a higher cast and never having worked a single honest day in his life and making a fortune out of corruption and networking.

And sitting on the couch with their dicks in their hands is "hard work" for them, but it's just jerking off for the rest of us. These assholes consider themselves working when they sleep, because them being rested is "good for the business".

Uh, I think you mean "meditation" and "mindfulness"

I agree weekends were a mistake.

It should have always been 2 on 1 off, 2 on 2 off.

My wife and I often play this game in bed.

WOW. Sleep and rest are mistakes. TIL

Shockingly, your brain and productivity improve when you get regular downtime.

(Yeah I know most people want something shorter than a book. It's a solid read though.)

I'll read this next weekend 🙃

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I'll eat you next weekend! Mmmmmm, smoked gouda cheese. Lettice. Pickles. Bacon. Squirt of ketchup.

Just need some potatoes.

“Good night. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.”

Is immolation illegal?

The problem with statements like this is that they only ever seem to be made by narcissists who thinks work is only those efforts that directly benefit them. The end of my "work day" is when I start my other job of working for myself. I manage my home, I take care of my garden, I put effort into maintaining or improving my physical and mental well being, I foster and build the relationships in my life that I care about, etc. All of that is work, it's just work that I do for myself and don't get a paycheck for.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 minutes ago

Absolutely nailed it.

Narayama Murthy sounds like an enormous piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Narayama Murthy was a mistake.

I keep trying to tell people the pull out method is not 100% effective.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You sully the good name of shit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, stuff grows in shit

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 hours ago

Just because he is an idiot who never worked a day in his life and so doesn't know that your productivity goes down significantly without relaxation that doesn't mean that anyone should listen to that drivel.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

This is honestly pretty funny stuff.
