Who's telling children hard work will get them to the TOP?
I thought we tell children that hard work pays off and is more likely to get you into a better position than being a slacker.

It's their business and presumably want a return on their money.
But when I click the link it requires me to fill in 2 fields and verify my email.
Maybe we have different definitions of "instantly"
Maybe you can automate your divorce too.
It's like me saying I can motivate someone to feel the "ownership" of my house (even though they are not on title).
Ownership is you know, actually OWNING something.(Shares, body/health, vision)
If your team does not feel ownership then is it because they do not actualy even own $1 worth of shares in the company project.
Burnout is the state of being overworked/underpaid and lacking autonomy agency (because one made bad life choices to support a family, debts, limited mobility).
Most people feel like they are poor little artifacts in a cruel machine or world. That attitude, coupled with low pay and a lacking personal Mission is the reason for burnout.
Money is a number of things. It is also captured reciprocal altruism, the "value" you provide is often times compensated with money. (Not always)
"Landing a job"
That language makes it seem like you fall into, stumble across, or get "lucky" to work for another man or woman (ie: a JOB)
That language and thinking is precisely what is holding people back from delivering on their life's work and maximizing the value provided to society.
"Giving up my entire life"
Did Steve Jobs, Ghandi, Mandela, Lincoln "give up their lives"?
This is all perspective.
A man with a Mission will not burn out. Better yet, a man with a Mission, autonomy and serious income does not burn out.
Ask how many people earning 1 million dollars a year (doctors, etc) feel about working 80 hour weeks.
Then you can focus on your art and passions.
Decrease chance of burnout by exponentially increasing pay.
Another way to avoid burnout is having multiple income streams and therefore being able to tell anyone to shove it on a moments notice.
Take note everyone, this is why you want multiple income streams and is a worthy goal.
I used to burn out for 120k/year pay when required to work 70 hour weeks.
Now I work 80+ hour weeks and get paid almost triple. In control of my destiny and can drop any one client/customer/employer within 2 seconds if they look at me the wrong way.
Many people will happily work 14 hour days for a 1 million/year Salary. I promise you they will not burnout.
But the crux of it is that employers must optimize burnout with labour expense.
Therefore they focus on the employee's behaviour to identify burnout and give them "just enough" to be teetering below the burnout phase (on-site massages, catered lunches, bullshit games, and extra vacation)
Other solution is to have a management/executive team that is proactive and not reactive.
I'm consistently shocked at how they choose to watch TV, do drugs, and quick to blame other people.
I try to help people and share opportunities that seem in line with their experience and skills... yet they do not leave their damn couch. Anectodal, yes
We really shouls just put a good UBC plan together and call it a day.
People run their homes like hotels and are shocked to find that people treat it as such.
Simply incorporated myself and started earning 250k USD as a contractor.
It seems more risky to me to spend your most precious years in some awful open office shit hole.
What are you... a baby cow?
This piece was likely inspired by the milk lobby... sales must be sagging.
Also bodes well for pro-UBC arguments.
I don't think the early pioneers needed "work" to catch food, build shelter, and grow a harvest.
They are motivated by all the great things money provides (nice family life, nice house, travel, health care)
That 78% of respondents are brained washed to repeat "do it for the passion/masterery/unicorns".
Show me one of these 78%-ers who will not work like crazy for a million dollars in a single year or two
You let your toddler or child on the internet with no supervision and then they find something you do not like.
What kind of victomhood article is this?
80 hour weeks for a year if I get paid 1 million dollars? Hell yeah. "Monk Mode" all the way.
You deserve exactly what you have right now. Nothing more, nothing less.
Read Napolean Hill's "The Laws of Success". A basic rule to use to succeed at life is:
- always render more service, and at a higher quality than that which you are paid for
Go out and do amazing things, constantly increasing your value and trading up
Try closer to 40-55/hour for salaried full-time and 55-125/hour for contracts/consulting.
It's like saying "Bavarian Water Center has constructed the world's largest artificial waterfall" ... and then not bother to show what it looks like when the water is flowing and it is all dammed up.
- Says everyone
Now you learned 2 valuable lessons:
- There's a lot of shitty code that you sometimes have to deal with
- Never put yourself into a state of dependency on a single income source, unless you wish to have the emotions you are feeling now
