    It’s easy to say when you’re a CEO and “work” consists of a series of meetings over lunch that you don’t pay for and making decisions based on data that has already been processed and analyzed by multiple layers of underlings.

      I’m not sure he even does that, according to the article, he goes to meetings from business open to close then fires off a few emails here and there. This dude’s most marketable skill is filling space in a chair while people talk around or at him for 10 hours. Fucking billionaires.

    Bupa, the international healthcare company headquartered in the United Kingdom. He was previously CEO of Sanitas, the Spanish health insurance company

    Two countries with some of the better public health care system in the world.

    He’s in charge of companies dedicated to selling you what you already have. So you know he’s an absolute POS.

    I also don’t believe in work-life balance.

    I believe in life-work balance.

    If you don’t have time for work you shouldn’t be expected to do it.

    I worked 50-100 per week for years and after 60 hours or so there is very little “life” left to be had, the time remaining is almost all dedicated to chores.

    What do you want to bet that this guy has had a staff his whole life and never had to deal with laundry, cooking, shopping, cleaning, bills, or any of the other dozens of tasks necessary in an average person’s week?

    A billionaire’s life consists of nothing but work and leisure with serfs to do everything else, so screw him and his condescending “work- life” lecture. He doesn’t even know what that means.

      seems everytime an emergency pops up like car repairs, I’m set back to $0 and suddenly working 6+ days/week become meaningless and tiring. at this point, just working the rest of my life towards cars and rent. almost hoping for a disability at this point cuz it’s the only way to retire early
