The author of this post spends the first seven paragraphs telling us how busy he is. Then he uses a metaphor that compares being busy to having a large penis.

  It doesn't get any better; later he complains that some of the members of his retail workforce clock off as soon as their shift ends.

    It's even worse than that... he acts like he's not complaining, saying something like, "I'm glad they've found their work/life balance," but then goes on to say it's a shame that they don't want to put in an extra hour of work per day, because then they could carve out a more interesting and exciting career for themselves. As if what his employees do outside of work is a poor substitute for career development. I think it's great that he's happy working his ass off making his business succeed. But not everyone defines their self-worth based on their job. Personally, I'm more concerned about making and maintaining connections with the people I care about. Yes, I'm working like crazy at a startup right now, but it's not my life. It's my job. It's a rewarding job helping to build a product I believe in and am passionate about, but there's so much more to the world than the office I spend most of my time in.
