    Some people just hate their family so much that they’d rather be working 80 hours a week, and go through great lengths to justify it.

    They were a mistake.

    Take the week off, work for two days on the weekends.

    This is Rishi Sunak’s wife’s father.

        That is true. I just like to be longwinded.

    “Frankly I was a little bit disappointed in 1986 when we moved from a six-day week to a five-day week,” he added.

    “I was not very happy with that. I think in this country, we have to work very hard because there is no substitute for hard work even if you’re the most intelligent guy."

    Funny how the out of touch billionaires keep pushing this line of thinking. The guy is on record saying he doesn’t believe in work / life balance and is currently pushing for a 70 hour work week in India.

    What’s that thing American slaves were allowed so that they would fuck it up and be happy with the structure provided by the slave owner? You know, happy with some freedom some would get drunk, others gamble, etc.

    Anyway, it was shit.

    Don’t fall into that trap.

    If there were a wall, and let’s say he was first against it, there would not be many surprised people.

    Infosys founder Narayama Murthy has tripled down on his previous statements that 70-hour work weeks are what’s needed in India and revealed he also thinks weekends were a mistake.

    Oh look. It’s this asshole again.
