Like most people do.

I make about half of his pay but need to work 40-45 hours a week.


What kind of job does he do where he spends so little time and earn a very high salary? Some us want a job like that. That's so amazing.


Tech but do not want to mention company.


Of course it’s tech, where Brin is ordering AI to work 60 hour weeks.

You won’t mention the actual field, so it’s obv you are trolling…

I have not heard people complaining, but I know people who would like jobs after getting laid off by Trump.

Worth noting: there's a huge difference in burden between:

a) 40-50 hours worked when you choose to work them
b) 40-50 hours worked on a rigid preset schedule with no flexibility.
c) 40-50 hours worked at the short notice whim of your employer.

I've done 50+ hours with complete flexibility and found it considerably less taxing than a straight 40 hours on a fixed schedule.

You're a man? With a SAHM? Yep, she does everything you don't.

Tech has always been the industry where you do a little bit of work for top pay. It's the opposite for the visa workers who have to grind out the hours. But look at the tech bros who went to DOGE, constantly claiming to work 80 hrs a week while staying in government subsidized housing. They spend most of their time inhaling drugs like the guy who got beat up by girls in Logan Circle at 3am while trying to buy drugs.

That’s convenient for you. How’s that working out?
