If I get up at 4am, I’m going to bed at 8pm. So I’m not saving any time, I’m stealing time from my evening to work in the morning. That’s what it ultimately comes down to…stealing personal time to spend on working…
Just drive that forklift on 3 hours of sleep bro
That was a hell of a ride
If I’m getting up at 4am on the weekends it means I’m going to be running on ~3 hrs of sleep. Which is fine because at least I’ll get a few hours of quiet before everyone else wakes up. (Also why I stay up til 1am)
“Multifamily syndicator” seems like a euphemism for paying child support and alimony.
Though the reality is its when a group of investors become a landlord for a duplex. And with “$50 million in assets raised” it appears this guy convinced people to invest in a row of L.A. duplexes.
What a champ. A real market maker.
how to make money:
own property
charge poor people half their salary
???
write a blog telling poor people to work more
Don’t forget this step:
write a book on how the poor can get rich like you (by selling your book to other suckers)
It’s a real estate thing.
Yes if I was self employed I’d do that but not for a company.
In twenty years, the only people who will remember that you worked all the time are your children.
Reminds me of that song, “Cats in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin. That’s sort of what the song is about.
The dad never has time for his kid because he’s working all the time. But the kid wanted to be just like his dad.
And so the kid, when he’s grown up, ends up never having time for his dad. He’s grown up to be just like his dad.
Do you sleep? You could be working those hours instead.
It WILL set you apart
As being a gullible schmuck who takes advice from opportunist dumb fucks.
Or -
and just hear me out on this before you make any sort of judgements -
Fuck that shit
I use that reasoning to cram more time playing Baldur’s Gate 3.
If you play bg3 from 4am to 8am that gives you the whole day to play more bg3!
You could be distinguished like this guy in a UK Rail Accident report.
The driver was on his 59th hour of work that week in the final hours of his 12-hour night shift. Let’s not encourage overworking, in most jobs you won’t be that much more productive anyway, and in others you run the risk of making potentially fatal mistakes. (Luckily he made it out fine.)
This fucking dude in the picture fortunately has no responsibility beyond the investor money from other fucking idiots who think the economy, the planet, all our well-being, is an elaborate casino game.
I’ve lived this, I’m still recovering from nerve damage caused by some guy stepping out of a garden bed late at night in front of my tram wearing all black. Should’ve flattened the cunt, maybe folks will stop walking out when they read of the deaths in the news. It’s a huge issue here, and I’m glad I don’t drive trams any more, I make 70% of my previous earnings for 1% of the bullshit, and I work maximum 4 days/wk now.
Edit: nerve damage caused due to shoulder sublux during panic emergency braking.
Look into Hours of Service for US truck drivers.
70 hours per 8 days, up to 14 hours working per day with 11 of those driving.
There’s a required 30 minute break before you reach 8 hours, but a couple years ago they redefined it such that it just had to be 30 minutes not driving. So now the time I spend unloading the truck at the destination counts as a “break” for me.
That’s the federal rules, but my state has its own HOS. (These can apply when not moving across state borders, as the federal government only has jurisdiction over INTERstate commerce). The state HOS is 80 hours in 8 days, 16 hours working, 12 driving. No breaks needed.
I’m so tired of the race to make the rich richer work cult
It will set you apart. People will think of you as ‘that maniac with no life’.
If you have time to waste posting such crap on linkedin, working on week-ends won’t make you a tiny bit more productive.
It’s not about productivity, it’s about boot licking to get a better life for yourself, so you can get yourself a boot licker
This is dumb. But just to talk corpo for a bit (because that is the reality for many of us): early in your career, putting in extra study time (or just making time on the clock if possible) will give you a leg up for certain kinds of white collar work. Just because you’ll know more.
But doing work on weekends will set you apart as a damned sucker who can be used by others to make career moves. So do that if you want to feel someone’s pump in your eye socket as they trample you to reach for their dream job.
You’re never going to get promoted to an easier job if you’ve proven you can build like 2x more widgets than your co-workers.
You’ll get to a better job by showing up with your co-workers to the boss’ house and asking nicely.
It’s all possible with a dash of cocaine and amphetamines … well maybe not a dash but a face full of the stuff.
Wasn’t this the logic of the medical guy who figured out that doctors could be placed on call for 12 hour shifts … and didn’t it turn out that he was addicted to cocaine and morphine.
Does this person think working shifts are just magic? You show up at 4am on a Saturday unscheduled and they just pay you with no complaint? People just get as much unauthorized overtime as they want?
I understand that’s not the kind of work he’s suggesting, but it is the kind of work that the vast majority of us do. Stop trying to normalize the hustle. We need to go back to RESPECT for the 9-5 working person and pay them enough to have comfortable lives
