Some people just hate their family so much that they'd rather be working 80 hours a week, and go through great lengths to justify it.

Maybe somebody could help him along.

Didn't he come out recently telling young people to waste their lives cucking so he can get another lambo?

What's that thing American slaves were allowed so that they would fuck it up and be happy with the structure provided by the slave owner? You know, happy with some freedom some would get drunk, others gamble, etc.

Anyway, it was shit.

Don't fall into that trap.

Narayama Murthy is a mistake.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 20 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder how many hours a week he works.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 16 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Murthy claimed he himself worked six and a half days a week until retirement, typically 14 hours and 10 minutes a day, clocking on at 6:20 AM before downing tools at 8:30 PM.

So he's a workaholic and he wants to force that on everyone.

I can clock in when I wake up too and clock out when I go to sleep. Not that hard, honestly. Also these people count travel as "work". So everybody traveling to work in the office is traveling too, but of course that's not paid. Only the boss can claim that's "work".

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago

Maybe not. Maybe he just hates being home so he'd "clock in" then dick around for 5.5 days. Having a shit relationship with your partner makes it a lot easier to pretend to work longer hours as an excuse not to come home.

This is Rishi Sunak's wife's father.

[–] eskimofry@lemmy.world 16 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That's called father-in-law

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago

That is true. I just like to be longwinded.

If there were a wall, and let's say he was first against it, there would not be many surprised people.
