    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…

    “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.

      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.

    It you just stop sleeping, you’ll be able to add 8 working hours per day! You can start at 11pm, stop at 7am and still have the entire day to work more at you’re job. It’ll add 40 working hours per week, 2080 hours or 260 working days for your boss!

    It WILL set you apart

    This assumes you have a 0 minute commute, so it only applies to remote workers, who are likely to be on salary anyway.

        That’s only partially valid though. You gotta get up and get ready either way. I know some people don’t shower in the mornings and even worse: some don’t brush their teeth, but aside from the 1 minute job of putting on your clothes, you can’t count that.

    It won’t set you apart because, Jeffrey who does half the work of everyone else, is really good at selling himself and kissing ass. Your boss is just as overworked as everyone else is. And it’s basically running on vibes at this point in time. So Jeffrey is going to get that next promotion.

    Have fun working on the weekends and in a couple of months, working under Jeffrey!

    Oh please. Those are rookie numbers.

    If you snort some coke you can get 23 hours in a day.

    It WILL set you apart.

      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.

      IIRC studies have shown that overall output is highest for many jobs at about a 4 day workweek. By the 5th day people tend to just fuck around more while on the clock

        For white collar jobs that is pretty much true. With a few exceptions, I cannot force more than that out of myself and still feel fine afterwards.

    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

    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 also not about productivity because cramming in more work hours into the workweek and extending it will decrease the output per time, productivity, since there’s more time at a similar weekly output now. Productivity would automate or intensify work tasks which of course creates other problems.

    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.

      I’m lucky enough with my position that we have pretty well defined pay bands that mention our levels of knowledge, easily identifiable systems and managers that are basically expected to pay us to those bands when our knowledge increases. The one thing we don’t have is enough time to effectively skill people up past a certain point. If you can spare the time, you basically will get promoted. We also have a lovely flex time system - work whenever between 7-6:30 as long as you hit 36 hours a week over 3 months, never heard of any pressure to come in early or anything like that with it either.

        I love transparent / open books, and I bring it up at every company I join, but unfortunately I don’t know of any local employers that do this, outside of big institutions or tiny cooperatives. But I guess I can just keep looking on the remote job market.

        Your job sounds very human! I’m happy with my set up as well. We don’t have a Clock so to speak, so as long as you’re available, make meetings on time, and get your tasks done, no one cares how you do it.
