"elite"
> "For most employees, life is partly work, but partly things outside work," Stanford economist Nick Bloom said. "These elite CEOs probably work 100-plus hours a week and they're much more work-focused." The mandates symbolize the sharp disconnect right now between the way CEOs and employees think about work.
I see that Nick Bloom is as highly cited researcher with a bunch of clout, but his speculation that people like the Goldman sachs ceo "work" anywhere near 100 hours a week really throw into doubt his veracity.
That said the rest of his work seems solid, just an odd off the cuff remark imo, or a different definition of "work"
- apercu 3y ago"a different definition of "work" Playing golf. Talking about work over lavish lunches. Having flexibility in your days to go to the gym, run errands, these things all extend the "work" week. :)
