… says random guy who probably started out rich and never worked even one minute for bare minimum.

TIL: “desperation” = “ambition”

As a Norwegian, fuck you Tangen.

I’m assuming he’s just big mad that he can’t force his employees to work 60+ hours a week?

Working more hours doesn’t mean you’re working harder.

I have worked with a lot of people from all over the world, and Americans have stuck out by being inefficient and following instructions to the point that they don’t use their own brain anymore.

Well, it’s only a small sample size based ony own experience, but I doubt it’s any different to the CEO talking out of his ass.

Being able to eat and pay rent is ambitious.

for sure, when your survival is on the line if you or someone in you family ever becomes sick, gotta hustle that 3rd part time job

Here’s my ambition: be there for my family and enjoy life with them for the fixed number of hours I have on this dirtball. Working overtime isn’t compatible with my plan. Nobody goes to their grave thinking “I should have worked harder”.

But you do you…

Higher ambition to not be homeless, sick or bankrupt? Everything is insanely overpriced to boost corporate profits and we have no fucking healthcare or social safety net. In fact, we are the only “developed” country to lack these basic, fundamental features.

Americans work this hard because we are hungry, and the only thing that will satisfy at this point is billionaire meat.
