If I get up at 4am, I'm going to bed at 8pm. So I'm not saving any time, I'm stealing time from my evening to work in the morning. That's what it ultimately comes down to...stealing personal time to spend on working...

"Multifamily syndicator" seems like a euphemism for paying child support and alimony.

Though the reality is its when a group of investors become a landlord for a duplex. And with "$50 million in assets raised" it appears this guy convinced people to invest in a row of L.A. duplexes.

What a champ. A real market maker.

how to make money:

own property

charge poor people half their salary

???

write a blog telling poor people to work more

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 18 points 1 year ago

Don't forget this step:

write a book on how the poor can get rich like you (by selling your book to other suckers)

It’s a real estate thing.

Yes if I was self employed I’d do that but not for a company.

In twenty years, the only people who will remember that you worked all the time are your children.

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of that song, "Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin. That's sort of what the song is about.

The dad never has time for his kid because he's working all the time. But the kid wanted to be just like his dad.

And so the kid, when he's grown up, ends up never having time for his dad. He's grown up to be just like his dad.

and just hear me out on this before you make any sort of judgements -

If you play bg3 from 4am to 8am that gives you the whole day to play more bg3!

Do you sleep? You could be working those hours instead.

Why sleep when you can take drugs!

I mean, yes, but don't waste a good high on working

Not wasting a good high on work WILL set you apart.

You could be distinguished like this guy in a UK Rail Accident report.

The driver was on his 59th hour of work that week in the final hours of his 12-hour night shift. Let's not encourage overworking, in most jobs you won't be that much more productive anyway, and in others you run the risk of making potentially fatal mistakes. (Luckily he made it out fine.)

This fucking dude in the picture fortunately has no responsibility beyond the investor money from other fucking idiots who think the economy, the planet, all our well-being, is an elaborate casino game.

I work four days a week and take good care of myself. It sets me apart. Last I saw the numbers, my sales for the month were more than time and a half the second place employee's. I am the stand out employee since my friend got a promotion. And I'm probably in line for the next one. If I work a fifth day, I have a mental breakdown. I promise. I Iove my job with everything in me, but I've never been stable working five days a week. I'm a high performance individual, and not overworking myself is essential to maintaining that.

If you have time to waste posting such crap on linkedin, working on week-ends won't make you a tiny bit more productive.

It's all possible with a dash of cocaine and amphetamines ..... well maybe not a dash but a face full of the stuff.

Wasn't this the logic of the medical guy who figured out that doctors could be placed on call for 12 hour shifts ... and didn't it turn out that he was addicted to cocaine and morphine.

Does this person think working shifts are just magic? You show up at 4am on a Saturday unscheduled and they just pay you with no complaint? People just get as much unauthorized overtime as they want?

I understand that's not the kind of work he's suggesting, but it is the kind of work that the vast majority of us do. Stop trying to normalize the hustle. We need to go back to RESPECT for the 9-5 working person and pay them enough to have comfortable lives

Coming to the office naked "WILL set you apart".

Punching your boss "WILL set you apart".

Overtly stealling office equipmemt "WILL set you apart".

Constantly bringing up the subject of your bowel movement "WILL [guess what...] set you apart".

I'd say the quality of this guy's advice is pretty well matched to the quality of the "argument" he provided to justify it.

"If you work for part of the day you still get the day off" is certainly an...interesting perspective.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 year ago

It you just stop sleeping, you'll be able to add 8 working hours per day! You can start at 11pm, stop at 7am and still have the entire day to work more at you're job. It'll add 40 working hours per week, 2080 hours or 260 working days for your boss!

It WILL set you apart

It won't set you apart because, Jeffrey who does half the work of everyone else, is really good at selling himself and kissing ass. Your boss is just as overworked as everyone else is. And it's basically running on vibes at this point in time. So Jeffrey is going to get that next promotion.

Have fun working on the weekends and in a couple of months, working under Jeffrey!

This assumes you have a 0 minute commute, so it only applies to remote workers, who are likely to be on salary anyway.

I work 4 hours on Sundays but get paid for those hours as if I was working the whole day. I have Wednesday off instead which makes grocery shopping much more enjoyable because the supermarket is near empty during off peak hours

This is dumb. But just to talk corpo for a bit (because that is the reality for many of us): early in your career, putting in extra study time (or just making time on the clock if possible) will give you a leg up for certain kinds of white collar work. Just because you'll know more.

But doing work on weekends will set you apart as a damned sucker who can be used by others to make career moves. So do that if you want to feel someone's pump in your eye socket as they trample you to reach for their dream job.

You're never going to get promoted to an easier job if you've proven you can build like 2x more widgets than your co-workers.

You'll get to a better job by showing up with your co-workers to the boss' house and asking nicely.

Chopping up elderly people with a dull bread knife will also set you apart.

If you work 16 hours on weekdays, you would have worked for 2 years in 1 year. You would earn twice the salary of the average person (citation needed), and will retire at 30. It WILL set you apart. It will also put you in a hospital and an early grave, but it WILL set you apart.

Can we name and shame? I won’t go on twitter or whatever it’s called today, but I would love to troll and harass this guy on Mastodon.

There are not many multifamily syndicators with 50 million raised. You will find if you search.
