    I think it might be more the fact that he is a workaholic and expects everyone else to be. But yeah, I don’t think he is quite as progressive as he thinks he is.

      It’s easy to work a lot when you get rewarded for it. Employees are almost never actually rewarded for working harder or more. It’s honestly the most privileged capitalist lie to tell others how their actions help “us” when all they will receive is another paycheck but the capitalist can use the gains to expand their investment or give themselves massive bonuses or wages.

        Also easy to work a lot when you decide what your job is, I’ve worked tirelessly this week doing important market research, networking and product development… I sat on YouTube, chatted to friends and day dreamed about things I could do in the future.

          The sad/tragic thing is he probably doesn’t realize that and he is surrounded by people who reinforce that. He never had any business running a company this size.
