If you’re obsessing over work-life balance, your problem isn’t the hours—it’s the job, says Bupa’s CEO. And some of the world’s most powerful people agree.
These same CEOs will say they work sun up to sun down and then they just consider any moment they are awake “working”
enjoying a lavished catered lunch on the company dime: work
having drinks with other executives punctuated by the occasional sentence here or there about buckling down for next quarter: work
sitting and barely listening to a presentation someone else put together and then making a semi-random decision based off a partial understanding after someone has boiled all the complexity away into two viable solutions that are only cosmetically different: work
And then after a long day of doing nothing of value they go back to their mansion and enjoy their 8 figure salaries and “read a paper” or “think about work” and consider that burning the midnight oil while all the material cares in the world are easily handled for them.
Historically speaking, the nobility and wealthy had all the damn time in the world to do whatever they hell they wanted. They only managed a few things while their servants and/or slaves did the rest.

Well, they also fire large portions of their workforce when times are tight or their bonus is in jeopardy. I feel for them…
