How many hours they work.

Life is a game. Scored like golf. The number is "hours labouring".

"I worked 120 hours this week, buttercup"

Wow. I can't believe you volunteered what a giant fucking idiot you are.

If you gotta work 120 hours to survive, I feel sympathy. If you're flexing? Jeeze

    Made me think of a documentary I saw, on some Americans working in Norway, where an American guy was asked what the biggest difference was between Americans and Norwegians, and he proudly proclaimed "Norwegians work to live, Americans live to work".

    My company was absorbed by a US company, and it's pretty accurate.

    And, I think they think it must mean that this dedication makes them good at working.

    But they fucking aren't. I constantly have to remind my coworkers that they're not paid by the hour. Work hard, work smart, we can finish up and call it a day. Nope. I swear to god these people are actively contriving ways to ensure we work so badly that it necessitates working late. Which we do not get paid for.

    Then they flex about thier work culture, thier long hours. You fools did this to yourselves, voluntarily, for literally no benefit.

    yeah people in my city are insufferable about this shit.

    i work 35-40 hour weeks. i like that. but people flip out at me and tell me how 'lazy' I am for that, and then go on and on about how they 'work harder' than me, even though they are making the same money per hour if you do some basic napkin math, or often less than I do, given i have better benefits than they do and you adjust for those as income.

    but hey, what do i know, i'm just a unambitious 'loser' who works 35 hours a week for six figures, meanwhile they work 60-80 per week for an extra 25K a year...
