Given how much my last CEO and CPO used GPT clients, I project that their average work day was 3 hours long each. They spend most of their time on outside projects anyway - basically working on their personal brand.

@Jeanniewarner@wandering.shop @rrb@infosec.exchange @pluralistic@mamot.fr hm.... as an engineer, I'm not afraid to admit that 3-4 hours a day is about as much as I ever could do any useful work (sustainably over time, not including occasional spurts). And I think it's entirely normal for the kind of job that doesn't require keeping watch or anything like that.

@Jeanniewarner@wandering.shop @rrb@infosec.exchange @pluralistic@mamot.fr Yeah, have you ever read those interviews with CEO's that beg the question, 'what does your day consist of?'
It's always like, "I get up at 7:00, hit the gym, have a light breakfast, then I get a few calls out of the way. After walking the dogs and a few laps in the pool, I head to work on my eBike at 11:00."
It's like they have this rock star rider tour contract. "Coffee & Bagel truck on Wednesday's must park next to the tennis courts."

@Jeanniewarner@wandering.shop @pluralistic@mamot.fr I find the less presence of managers in the workplace the better for all concerned.

@rrb@infosec.exchange @Nead@social.vivaldi.net @pluralistic@mamot.fr Oh, I used to have the sorts of jobs where you go on executive retreats and attend meetings with the CEO. I remember saying no to one dumb idea, and watching the ripples of shocked silence spread through the room.

It will not surprise you that in that particular organization I didn't have to attend any more meetings with the CEO.

Trying not to draw parallels to boys generally not being good with the word no, but it's hard. So hard.
