A friend bought a home in Florida back in December for $254k. He suddenly decides he wants a bigger house with a pool, closer to work. So he's putting it back on the market....for $299k. He has made no upgrades or improved the condition in any way.

There's a guy in my office that does this and apparently he isn't done peeing by the time the flush is complete, but refuses to flush again.

My coworker resigned today with no notice. She doesn't have a job lined up, but her husband does, and they're moving to a spacious ranch in the Ozarks. I asked, "Are you guys going to raise horses?" "No," she said, "but I'm buying a pontoon!" She's had a rough time recently, so I didn't want to poo poo on their idea, but...yikes. Best of luck.

Dwight Eisenhower posted:the claimed workloads are bullshit, and even if they weren't, we shouldn't be talking about them in reverent tones because working more than 40 hours a week doesn't leave time to socialize with other humans and experience art and to relax and otherwise engage in all of the mental hygiene that produces stable empathetic decision makers I've seen the end result of people working 60 hour weeks for years and years. It hollows something out inside of you. You end up with these people who have no non-work interests, nothing non-work related to talk about, and seem completely removed from society. It's just completely bizarre

I did the 70+ hour thing for 5 years or so, and it turned out as well as is described above. I have some relationships that have never fully repaired, and I'm pretty sure I'm still carrying burnout scar tissue to this day. Didn't even pay very well.

I worked 8x 85-hour 6-day work weeks in a row about 10 years ago and while I would never want to do that again, the end product was amazing and worth the effort. BWM was similar to Subjunctive, I didn't ask for nearly as much money as I should have.

Jeez people, it was an anecdote from the CEO about how obsessed he was with efficiency, which is something Southwest is known for. It also implies he is/was an incredibly busy person if he thought slicing time off his bathroom breaks was important.

I guess if you have good aim you could move on to washing your hands post-flush but before actually finishing. That would save some time.

I thought it was a nice twist that the CEO's efficiency protip doesn't actually save any time at all. Cue a thousand business magazines touting this as the reason for his success, then a cargo cult following by other CEO, often with their own even more useless twist (such as replacing all the bathrooms in the entire facility with carbon fibre urinals and making GBS threads in the sink to avoid flushing altogether )

So for those of you who work those 60-80 hour weeks, are you properly compensated for your extra time or is it just expected you devote your life to a 40k/yr job?

In the case of residents, sure they're working 90 hour weeks making $52k because within 4 years from now if they go full private practice cash grab they could gross $450k.

Currently work 70 hours, but constitutes 3 different jobs, so paid accordingly. (40 hr during week, 15 nights / weekends waiting tables, 15 freelance work)

Doctors have the last profession where your job is your life but you are at least well compensated. That will change eventually though.

Medicine/Law/Banking are all similar. Sacrifice your 20s with very above average hours for relatively poor compensation in the hope that you can spent your 30-50s working slightly above average hours for generally good compensation. Right now, at the very end of residency I feel incredibly burned out/bitter for losing my 20s, especially as compared to my friends in banking/law/tech, who at the very least have a house/401k to show for it. On the bright side, at least what I'm doing feels more meaningful than working for Google/Goldman/McKinsey?

I'll say that I've found more satisfaction in being able to be a part of giving someone an extra year with their family than I ever did in improving some code to be more efficient. I'm sure it also depending on what you're doing at Google. My friend who's essentially a (well payed) computer janitor there seems way less enthusiastic about his job than a friend who's on a different team.
