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)
I get up at 4am on days I have to go to the office. Driving an hour to work at 4:30 sucks but it’s better than driving 2 hours to work at 6:30.
On Fridays I either have the day off or have to work 4 hours, alternating each week.
I get up at 4am on the working Friday and finish at 8 exactly like this guy suggests because it feels like I have every week being a 3 day weekend.
It is shit cramming a full working week into Mon-Thursday though. My employer implemented the 4 day work week if we wanted. You still have the work the hours though, so it’s quite shit.
I know quite a few people just went back to working 5 days to shorten each day.
That’s not the same thing at all. You’re already getting up at 4am normally on Friday, and you apparently only work 4 and a half days a week. This meme assumes you work 9-5 5 days a week, and advocates that you spend more time outside those hours working.
Term for it is compressed hours, and it is stupid
“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.
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!

It’s proventhat the dice will roll lower if you are missing sleep!
Not if you roll with advantage every roll.
As a former freelance photographer I take this advice seriously almost every day… it’s why I’m a former freelance photographer… send help.
!U!<
LPT: if you play it even more you’ll finish it faster and have all the time for whatever else you want
No see, I finish the game and somehow it convinces me to start a second playthrough.
I did say whatever else you want, you can’t stay playing that forever and if you do, welcome to making a new world record
ULPT as mentioned before.
As also a former freelance photographer who had to put in place rules around when/where I could take my camera to avoid working. I feel you.
Best comment so far, also based af.
Do you sleep? You could be working those hours instead.
Why sleep when you can take drugs!
I mean, yes, but don’t waste a good high on working
Not wasting a good high on work WILL set you apart.
Blue collar: tobacco and energy drinks.
White collar: Adderall or coke.
It WILL set you apart
As being a gullible schmuck who takes advice from opportunist dumb fucks.
It will set you apart. People will think of you as ‘that maniac with no life’.
I’m so tired of the race to make the rich richer work cult
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.
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.
Mhm, better hours, better pay would mean better drivers and more people willing to work in that industry.
In Ontario Canada it’s up to 13 hrs driving, 14 hours on-duty and 10 hrs off-duty with 8 hour breaks, and unloading doesn’t count as off-duty. Maximum 70 hrs in 7 days, or 120 hrs in 14 days depending on carrier. Not much better.
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.
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.
I work four days a week and take good care of myself. It sets me apart. Last I saw the numbers, my sales for the month were more than time and a half the second place employee’s. I am the stand out employee since my friend got a promotion. And I’m probably in line for the next one. If I work a fifth day, I have a mental breakdown. I promise. I Iove my job with everything in me, but I’ve never been stable working five days a week. I’m a high performance individual, and not overworking myself is essential to maintaining that.
Not overworking to maintain high performance is something missed or not cared about by so many companies.
It’s like taking care of your chickens gives them a better life so they produce better and more eggs so you make more money. It’s pretty obvious you take care of those you farm for your own benefit (as the rich farm us).
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.
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.
I would rather not be treated by a doctor running off drugs instead of a good night’s rest.
Real life Dr. House
We have Modafinil now, who needs sleep?
Coming to the office naked “WILL set you apart”.
Punching your boss “WILL set you apart”.
Overtly stealling office equipmemt “WILL set you apart”.
Constantly bringing up the subject of your bowel movement “WILL [guess what…] set you apart”.
I’d say the quality of this guy’s advice is pretty well matched to the quality of the “argument” he provided to justify it.
Hey that’s not stealing, that’s taking
It’s called my yearly bonus and or raise.
“During my induction they told me ‘this is your computer’, so naturally I took it home”
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 work for part of the day you still get the day off” is certainly an…interesting perspective.
