I worked 70-90 hour weeks for 3 years. I was basically a zombie, never saw friends or family, any downtime I had was purely for rest. I eventually snapped, moved halfway across the country and took a job for significantly less pay but half the hours and I’m much happier now.

I once had a job that was working me every single day 9 hours a day because they would not replace the 4th employee who quit, running a 24/7 location.
I told them that if they didn't hire somebody I would quit.
I gave them a week and they hadn't even made an attempt to hire anybody.
I offered to the manager that two days a week we would each take a 12-hour shift, so that each of us in turn would get one full day off each week.
My manager said no.
To my manager's shock and surprise I quit on the spot, and my manager and my coworker each got to work a 12-hour shift for the next 6 weeks every single day until the other person quit and they had to close the business down until they hired in replacements.

Hell I didn't even own a car at the time but that walk home was the most baller stroll I've ever had in my life.
I got home, told my girlfriend at the time I had quit my job and then I went and slept for 14 hours without a care in the world, and then the next day I went out and found a job that paid a dollar an hour more.
Often, staffing is the #1 concern as a small business develops, so having the capital to pay enough employees is a big deal. This owner completely failed to plan.

Not really. He was unelected; took the job over from Liz Truss, who was prime minister for only 49 days, after taking on the job from Boris Johnson who resigned after a string of embarrassing decisions and an absolutely marvellous display of incompetence and inability to perform even at a basic level at his job.
Boris, also unelected, took on the job from Theresa May, who took over the job from David Cameron, who resigned right after saying “we’re going to hold a referendum on Brexit”, the coward.
It’s been a baton pass from one failure to another, and after 13 years in power, says their party is “The Party of Change”. Change from what? Their own incompetence?

The guy co-founded Infosys, which is known for slave driving their employees just so they can get more and more contractors into a project. Their quality of work is absolute dog shit. Not because the people aren’t capable, but because the company’s culture doesn’t promote/allow for high quality work. This isn’t unique to Infosys, this is true for HCL and TCS as well which are some of the biggest services companies in India.
Farmers and other professions already work as much as they need to work to generate their output.
There’s been numerous studies that have shown that peak productivity goldilocks zone is somewhere between 30 to 35hrs, which is why exploration of 4 day workweeks are a thing in advanced economies.

I mean, sure, they will, but they also spend half of that time socialising, posting on Twitter, going to the gym and generally living life while claiming to be on the clock. Their “70 hours a week” have nothing to do with the “70 hours a week” of an actual working person.
Rich people still work hard. I know that hating rich people is the entire point of this comment, but suggesting that most senior business leaders aren’t absolute workaholics is absurd. Every successful lawyer is an absolute workaholic.
That’s literally the reason the guy from the article believes as he does. He does actually work that much. The weird and fucked up part is him wanting that to be the norm
if you dedicate every single hour possible to being productive you’re going to burn far sooner than later, and telling people otherwise is going to provoke a lot of pain for no gain

Walmart used to have lots of locations open 24/7. Gas stations, restaurants, and various places in heavy tourist areas like New York or Vegas or LA.
