Instead of four-day work weeks, maybe we should be talking about 10-month work years

If even after life and death still continue workaholic, then i do not pity these people if they really drop dead at work. I always find life is not about work work work. This is why i can never reach boss level, only can stay at low level for my entire work life. 😂

Actually, it is not about workaholic, I can tell you it is about system and your thinking and the delivery. I don't work all the time, but when the time is needed for me to sit in and deliver those paperwork, I will do so. When it is time for me to go out and get the business in, I also have to do so. End of the day. If boss is happy looking at his new building. please do so. Maybe he is fated to do it and not me. Haha

I can say he indeed is a real workaholic. Those bosses who make it rich are enjoying themselves with all the money. But he is still the one trying to earn more and more and feeding those enjoyment. Yesterday I was asked, "Why you still not cheong". Lucky it was conference call, the comment is from my plan of growing 15% annually after last 2 year's double up. I just cover my head and lean back to listen to what he say. 

I know what he wants, we got campus from Shenzhen to Chengdu (2) to Zhongshan, but he still wants campus in Suzhou and then sooner or later Thailand. But I just don't feel like the damn extra work will come to me. When time for me to go, I will just tell them I want to relax earlier than what they think.

When someone is fixated on getting richer & richer, it's not workaholic, it's an addiction 

And it sounds like ppl are hired juz to feed this addiction to make him even richer

No wonder some people don't want to retire, work past 70s still work, due to the high salary that they are getting. Even though they are rich enough to retire, but the addiction of getting richer and richer makes them to continue working.

I am curious to see how companies would administrate this FWA from 1 Dec. I believe many companies still don't believe FWA, esp allowing WFH for their employees. And esp when in a company where those decision makers are those old school type of mindset and management styles, they only accept employees must be physically come to office to work then consider working. For all others arrangement, it means the employee is skiving from work.

I am already surfing MCF all day and my boss doesn't know.

Not everyone are matured and discipline enough to manage their own time. Even in zoom, you find people not playing attention and wasting other's time.

Even during actual physical meeting also can find people not paying attention and waste other's time. This is why some employers still never believe in zoom meeting and WFH arrangement, no matter how gahment try to push for all these.

Tesla, Amazon, Google, many others, have already shown how they view remote working. Unless someone in the G thinks he is smarter and all these giants are wrong.

And on the same day of this announcement, already a warning for those that press too hard on "flexible work"
