One simple trick to exit the labor class; investment banking MDs hate him; "how can one man achieve so much?":
Work less, but keep clocking the same amount of hours.
A lot easier to do with WFH, but still achievable if you're in an office cubicle.
Impossible to do if you work a trade/labor-intensive job.

- jrumbut 5y agoI worked in an open office for years and never understood how people did things besides work. I tried 100% remote but that got lonely. Now that I have an office, it's like I'm living a completely different life where there's energy for meaningful activities after work. I get so much more done. The socialization is down from 2019 but there's a feeling to being in a building full of people that's different from being stuck in your house all day. I can't imagine accepting an open plan office job again, the money would have to be life changing. I suspect cubicles would be fine.

- cardosof 5y agoJust wanted to mention that this is getting harder and harder - companies will just let you use their approved hardwared, full of monitoring software to keep you in line. And it will get much worse, as in Mana by Marshall Brain
- feoren 5y agoThat is literally illegal, at least at my job.
