Whatever. In DC region it’s all professional staff, while in Chase the bulk of the people listed are tellers and branch managers. They don’t work long hours: bankers hours. The grunts at Chase working 60+ for “low pay” are competing for crazy money promotions and bonuses in a short time frame. A Fed employee has no path to those kind of income boosts, so it’s irrational to compare the two careers. |

Oh PP, such a miserable life you live.I have a couple of relatives like this, their source of happiness is the misery they cause to others. I am serious, these people are so deeply unhappy in their own lives that only thing they want is to burn down the lives of others. |

| Working at Chase for low pay 60hr/week should not be the life goal of people in jobs, why are you all citing that as an example that should be emulated? Republicans especially are the “family values” party, so please support families by proving work/life balance and better working conditions. I am counting on you, Republicans. |

| I would like to see Trump wake up at 6;00, make himself breakfast and DRIVE HIMSELF to an office sixty minutes away, park his own car, make his own lunch, etc. You know that none of these guys could hack this themselves!!! |

He is a legendary workaholic. At 78 he sleeps 4-5 hours a night. Back in his hey day in NYC in the 1970s and early 1980s he used to sleep 1-3 hours a night. He used to get at work at 7am and often with events and meetings get home at 3am and back at work at 7am. He is in NY, NJ, Florida, UK, DC often within a few day period. I dont know how he does it. Then he does dinner and breakfast meeting. Musk is also like that. These guys will do 100 hour work weeks no problem. And do it for decades no problem. |

I'm a trump hater, but the man has taken risks in life and gone bankrupt multiple times. He has projects all over the world and hustles. Being a career fed is the exact opposite. One of the lowest risk and highest reward career paths someone can take. If you can't get in the office for that low risk high reward job you should think about a different career. |

It’s easy to stay up all night when all you do each day is watch TV and eat hamburgers |

But they aren't sitting at desks in an office all that time. Sometimes they are.....at home. I could theoretically work 100 hours a week is some of it was at home. Can't do that in the office. |

| Imagine citing Chase as an example but not knowing the difference between investment banking and retail banking or, in DC, between what the branches do and what its government affairs office does. |

It’s easy to take “risks” and go bankrupt multiple times when you inherit 100 times more money than most people will earn across the entirety of their lives. He was never in danger of not having a roof over his head. He was not actually risking much of anything. It’s all Monopoly money to people with that level of wealth. |

Sending people to Mars is going to be quite the challenge when all the retirement-eligible people at NASA quit if they have to go in 5 days per week. |

This thinking is how we have so much economic disparity and worker abuse across the country. As long as billionaires find enough boot lickers to work 60 hrs at 40 hrs pay and convince them that that's fair, this will be our fate as working class. Demanding work/life balance for families is not a bubble, it should be the standard for the richest country in the world. Unless, we became richest country in the world by exploiting our workers, oh wait never mind. |
