So, he and his cabinet will be working 8 hours a day at least 5 days a week in DC ? Can we get that in written please ?
Maybe not in DC, but don't underestimate how many hours most of these psychopaths actually work. They do come to work (maybe not in DC, but to some office somewhere) and work for 100 hours a week, because they place no value on anything other than work. You can fault them for many things, but billionaires are almost always true psychopaths with no concept of anything beyond working to achieve power.
Trump is a different story. He'll say the golf course is his office, where he makes his deals.
Disagree. When you look at their schedules a lot of work hours are actually like lunch meetings or golf trips or whatever they need to do to justify networking without actual work.
I remember my last job, I would have to take days off for sick days, or half days for the Dentists. My boss however would send out emails like "Hey I am going out of town to Palm Springs, I'll be there for 3 weeks, I will be available for phone from the golf course so I am really only taking 2 days of PTO"
I can definitely fault them for that
Their work is a lot different than the work we do. (it's not harder)
There's no way Musk "works" 100 hours a week. How do you think he's found all this time to spend with his new bestie Donald? By all accounts the guy spends a significant amount of his time playing video games and on Twitter. His "work" is lunch meetings and zoom calls with the board where he just spitballs a bunch of nonsense.
