This guy probably still wonders why he was bullied in High School and College.

Business owners be like:

How dare these people not give me their labor for free. How greedy of them

And not detect a single drop of irony

It's a coworking space, which means he's not dunking on his employees, just other randos who have a life.

I recently got scolded for saying we shouldn't work nights and weekends for free at work. (Everyone is salary).

The boss was telling me it demoralizes my coworkers to say that. And it "doesn't hurt me if they decide to put in extra time".

The most naive theory of labor, or just lying?

"Putting in the hours" isn't working. It's flexing your masochism

Yeah it’s virtue signaling for free market simps

It is not like Berlin is a cultural hotspot in EU and people have things to do in that city.

Oh wait, it is like that. It also applies to MOST of EU capitals. Weird.

Thing is, no one likes to work in a co-working space. Accelerators have these Hip Spaces which are sometimes used (for Meetings and Workshops) but that is just a perk. Main focus is to get multiplication and contacts. Additionally you can join multiple accelerators (as a startup).

I have rarely seen someone working in such a space and IF it was for a hackathon or due to a "last week crunsh before release".

Home Office .... they key words are home office and core hours (which are a 4H overlap for communication between early birds and night owls)...

There, you have it. That guy has no idea about processes and employee management. This guy is a one man clown show.

The US has influenced the rest of the world so much. It's quite sad. Hopefully Trump's election will force Europe to put up some figurative walls and stop the flood of bullshit from that country.

The right-wing rot is in Europe too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

The rot can be more easily excised with less foreign influence.

Love the boot I guess, whatever makes you happy

That looks like the breakroom. Maybe check the offices?

"Business angel" 🤮

oh nooo people are not making money for their bosses so sad.

Fuck this idiot.

Hmm, do you know what I'm doing at 6:30? I'm hanging w/ my family, and then I'll sometimes WFH on my personal projects. If you're actually side-hustling or running your own business, long hours isn't the solution IMO, instead break up those hours w/ other important things, and fit the work around that.

Good work ethic is when you spend every waking moment working instead of spending time with your family, yourself, your pets, your friends, doing self care, cooking for yourself and/or family.

Sounds like a jolly old life that doesn't it? Sure would love to do that every day until I die.

This guy is a certified nutjob.

More like Max Burnout amirite???

Poor soul.

Yeah that's about the face I was expecting him to be making. It's the "Please knock my lights out" face. The mental agony face.

Working long hours is sometimes justified: but unless you're the CEO you should be getting extra pay or time off in lieu. Anything else is wage theft.
