Learning what an angel investor is hasn’t really changed my opinion on this guy. My opinion of him as an angel may have changed if the post were closer to “go home at noon today, we’ve got enough done and you deserve a break.” Instead his attitude is "stay later, work harder, and get that sweet sweet return of investment.

Deutlich sichtbare Warnhinweise auf den Flaschen wären eine große Verbesserung. Of he’s all about profiting from the work of others.

the only people who want to put in longer hours at the office have absolutely nothing to go home to.

they should be pitied instead of being vilified. drop them a “get well soon” message in social media should you encounter them.

Usually they’re also the people who don’t do anything… I don’t know how many I’ve run into and ask what they’re working on, only for them to give me a “catching up on email or cleaning up” response. They’re just wasting time, hoping to look good.

“Catching up on emails” is something you must do and can take a lot of time depending on your role and circumstances, though. My interepretation of this answer would depend on if the answer is for “what I’m doing right now” or “what I’ve been working on today”.

Some of us work our asses off because we’re passionate, but don’t pressure our coworkers to do the same… It’s a phase like most things are. If I ever get a management position in my current industry, I won’t expect after-hours responses/work…

Nah. It’s leaders like this moron that are just looking to make money off your hard work. Get going, you have billionaires to please!

Imagine not realizing that you have to take breaks to be productive. It’s better to go home and forget about what you were working on and come back the next day. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve struggled f with an issue and came back to it and figured it out right away.

That is the key thing that is wrong with the whole “work ethic” rhetoric. Working longer hours is not good for productivity unless you have a job that basically has no quality metric attached to anything you produce and quantity is just measured in time worked.

Chances are many are still working. They’re combining eating with socialising with peers in the hundreds of bars and restaurants and discussing many things, including work related stuff… which is a lot healthier than always eating alone at your desk.

Prosperity comes from inherited wealth.

People who work from a co-working space usually are in no place to lecture others about prosperity.

If you brag about how late you work in the evening, at least tell us when you start in the morning.

That would be a great reply:

“What time did you get in? I didn’t see you at all for the 13 hours I was there. Did you just show up to take a picture?”

Their golf is “business networking” and counts as work. Your bar time with coworkers and other business associates is goofing off.

What if instead of working, I spend two hours making a salty post about people not working?
