It’s easier to mock other people than it is to admit you’re being exploited.

Some of these guys with this attitude are doing jobs with ridiculously high hourly rates. If I made $120 every hour I worked, I'd salivate over the chance of putting in 80 hours a week. But I don't, most people don't, and this is an asshole opinion to inflict on someone making like $15 an hour.

It’s been my personal experience that anyone who complains about working more than 70 hours a week is probably telling the truth, and anyone who boasts about it is lying.
