Currently work for a CEO who has had a team of childcare workers for his five kids, and a private doctor and private cook.

He frequently would tell employees to find time to go rock climbing and take vacations to recharge like how he does, even while running a multi billion dollar company.

Have you considered doing significantly less work while not having a care in the world?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Yes, I do the bare minimum to not get fired. That is why I am on lemmy in the work day.

Ugh my last company the CEO and C-suite constantly bragged about their new boats, planes, and trucks all while massively underpaying me. it was a small company so unfortunately I was up close and personal with them. I remember the CEO once commented that I was skipping out early because I was leaving at 6pm. I had a 2 hour commute to get there.

They were surprised I quit but the next company offered me 50% more than what I was getting there and a signing bonus and company stock. That company gave me bupkiss. And they weren't even letting me do the job I was hired for putting me in low level software development roles. A new guy came and they immediately put him in the role I was supposed to do. The CEO had the audacity to act like I was ungrateful that they hired me. Bitch I had a Masters in Comp Eng with a 4.0 GPA and internships up the wazoo.

So glad I left after only 6 months. I'm sure my current CEO/C-Suite are just as bad but it's a bigger company so I never have to see them.

Replacing your job with a walk through the forest found to have surprising health benefits!

LPT: if some anonymous rando offers a better path and implies a long walk into the wilderness, suggesting you "follow him"... It's gonna be a lonely trip back for said stranger. 🤔😅

What? You're afraid here in the dark forrest? How do you think I feel having to walk back alone.

I've never met a dark Forrest. 🤔

Forrest Whitaker has entered the chat.

Honestly? I think he would be lovely to meet in person. 🤓

So I get up at 10:00 and stay in the woods until 22:00. Sounds marvellous.

I personally like to take short - maybe one week vacations every month. Taking some time to sunbathe in Spain or maybe ski in the alps really helps keep me focused and efficient!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Ideally, I take short - 4 week - vacations every month. That helps keep me centered and happy.
