I can’t believe you’re getting downvoted for citing a Harvard study….

I'd also work 60 hours a week if I could count getting chauffeured around and eating lunches with people as "work"

My dad had a family friend that was CEO that claimed he worked 80 hours a week. He pulled out a calendar, and not only was it closer to 50-60, about 6-10 of those hours were golf business meetings it was funny. I doubt he would have laughed if one of his workers were calling him out though...

Imo being out with friends and being out with business partners are two totally different states. I can relax with friends, but being at work functions (even if I consider the co-workers I'm with friends) I have to be "on" and I just end up exhausted, even if I end up doing exactly the same thing.

I wouldn't underestimate the psychological aspect, especially when you have to watch what you say more often than around friends

To be fair I didn't link it directly in my comment (though I doubt it would've changed the outcome). Thanks for tracking that down for me, though!

Lemmy is occupied by 13 year olds who dream of working zero days in their life.
