If relentless overwork and non-stop hustling were the keys to success and happiness, our beloved ‘hustle bros’ would be too enraptured with their owning blissful achievements to bother policing everyone else's work hours.
But, here they fucking are, fervently advocating a grind culture and shaming anyone who isn't work obsessed.
Begs the question: if they’ve found the secret to happiness, why are they so preoccupied with our work schedules instead of enjoying their supposed dream lives?

Their key to happiness is to take other people’s work as their own. The Bros push the work hard culture for personal benefit as a means to exploit the more vulnerable.
If you come from nothing and nowhere you take what you can get. It’s only later when you look back at the weddings you missed you realise that 1.25x work load on four people is actually work for five people where you freely give the hours. You pay for the fifth.
On the flip side they will also sack you and say it’s business and not personal. If that’s true then surely saying ‘no I won’t’ is a business decision.
It’s exploitation and thank goodness for the current kids who say ‘fuck that!’ Well done them!
