CostVsBenefit #IsItWorthIt #SolutionNeeded
Hey there! Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you’re contemplating whether something is really worth it? 🤔 I’ve been there too, and more often than not, the answer is a resounding "Doesn’t seem worth it".
But fret not, because I’ve come up with a possible solution that might just make things a little clearer for you:
- Evaluate the costs: Take a step back and look at the expenses involved. Are they outweighed by the benefits you’ll receive?
- Consider the long-term impact: Sometimes, what may seem insignificant now could have a huge impact in the future. Think about how this decision could affect you down the line.
- Seek advice: Don’t be afraid to reach out to friends, family, or even professionals for their input. A fresh perspective can make all the difference.
By taking these steps, you can gain a better understanding of whether the perceived benefits are truly worth the cost. Remember, it’s important to make informed decisions that align with your goals and values. Good luck! 🌟 #WorthIt #DecisionMaking
The key to success is cigarettes
Shit that never happened for 2000 Ken.
Don Draper?
And then everyone applauded.
I don’t believe it’s real for a second.
It isn’t – especially considering he never sees a moment of enjoyment BUT money and success!
…
Right!
…
right?
Replayed that conversation everyday after his boss croaked at the age of 50 from chronic illness related to stress, lack of sleep, smoking, and a whole list of other things heath wise caused by working to much.
He never got to enjoy anything because he worked himself into the grave before retirement and all that money he earned went to his widow if he even had one since he was never home.
She spent it all with her new husband and now fatherless kids and after a time he was forgotten because new daddy spent lots of time with his adopted kiddos rather than work himself to the bone.
Congratulations you won at the game of life by reaching the end faster and more miserable. These posts are soooooo cringe
Sure that happened
That’s not success. That’s a waste of an entire life.
Was he rolling those cigarettes with the paper from the loan agreements his parents signed to get him a couple million in startup money in the 70s?
Because then I’d actually believe this bullshit story.
Passion sounds an awful lot like a man which a severe obsession. Shame that would never work today. Got nurses pulling 16 hours shifts 5-6 days a week and they can’t even get a raise at the local retirement home.
Don’t step in the bullshit.
Even if this a perfect retelling of what happened and not the fish story it clearly is, the message is: you need to be constantly focused on optimizing money all the time and that everyone should be doing it.
Well fuck that. I choose life.
The cancer cells he didn’t even know where there stood and applauded his dedication to developing cancer.
Should also mention that when the next round of bonuses for the higher-ups hits the calendar, our Mentor, will be aged-out of his role, demoting him and reducing his gross pay while he trains his high-school replacements. Show dedication to people, to what you love to do. Corporations tell us they care but we’re all just rectal cells at the poor end of capitalism.
He got some seed money to start out, or spent his early years running hot (illegally) to work practically nonstop to get the money to buy his initial trucks. And then apparently spent his entire life working like this just for the sake of accumulation. Spent little time with his kids. Or his wife. Never traveled anywhere. Sounds just miserable.
And if he passed this business on to his children, they probably ran it into the ground within a few years, spending their lives feeling like they were “set” and never had to do anything. That’s a recipe for worthless kids.
All I see is, guy makes a comfortable living for himself, doesn’t know how to enjoy the fruits of his success. Wife probably having an affair.
And if you do the same, he’ll be able to afford 100 more in a couple of years.
You need bipolar disorder, cocaine or amphetamines to do this constantly. You will not live very long.
That boss’ name, Albert Einstein.
Also, high school dropout means he likely has little life of the mind and isn’t equipped to participate in our complex society. Good at his little corner of the capitalist misery web, but probably not much else.
Working for the sake of working. Cool
There’s this book by Ayn Rand called Atlas Shrugged. In it were “Titans of Industry” who could invent linear algebra as 12 year olds trying to play a rope and pulley game. The characters’ ability to invent the perfect solution without trial and error is a frequent plot point, a testament to their genius and merit as titans of industry.
Like Ayn Rand’s fiction, this LinkedIn Lunatic desperately wants soft skills – determination, commitment, germaine thinking without input or sleep – to be the KPI to his story that’s really about magic: A dude invents a logistics solution based on a deep knowledge of chemical engineering *and then* schemes it out to perfection in less than a night! All from a guy with zero background or formal training in any relevant field!
This stuff is the opposite of escapism. It’s the trappings of a dunning-kreuger-thought-leader: business isn’t “work” if you’re a bold visionary genius! If it is work, ipso facto, you’re not a bold visionary genius!
Big tabbacco PR firm throwing there final dice
That’s a whole bunch of words just to let us know this guy’s boss does meth
Leaving out the smoking and lack of sleep etc… The boss seems to be very knowledgeable and skilled in regard to the technical side of his business, but completely lacks social skills.
Who the fuck calls in some bloke at 10:30pm on a Sunday. Can’t it wait until Monday morning? And who lets the LinkedIn dude go home for 3ish hours of sleep before getting him back in at 7:30am Monday. Ever heard of fatigue management?
Ah so he had no life, never did anything but make some other assholes rich.
I’ve known many people like this guy’s boss. That generation. They’re all mostly dead from horrible health issues. One of them was my father. Was never home when I was growing up. Life revolves around his work. And he amassed a lot of money and success doing that. But when he died last year in his early 70s, he looked like he was nearly a hundred. After years of health problems and no quality of life. But he always reminded everyone how hard he worked and how much money he had.
“He died of heart disease a week later”
