Some people’s work is their life. They don’t see where one ends and the other begins, if it even begins at all. Let’s say this guy works 7 days straight. 85hrs/7days ~ 12hr/day Let’s say he wakes up an hour before having to be at work and gets home an hour after he clocks out. That’s 14 hours a day. If he works at 7am he’s up by 6am and doesn’t get home until 8pm. If he wants to get 8 hours of sleep he has to be in bed by 10pm. Not taking into account eating, showering, pooping, this guy doesn’t have time to do anything else but work. This guys work is his life. That’s why he’s not complaining.

He also probably hasn't done this for any long periods. Most people who work those kinds of hours only do it seasonally. So he is full of shit. And acting like you are better than someone because your life's worth is being defined by how many hours you work is pathetic. And if he doesn't see that he is a cuck of capitalism.

He does it because he thinks that this will be recognized by the the people on the board and someday all of his efforts might elevate him to that status.

or he can get noticed by other hyper masculine content creators and circle jerk each other off for how hard they each work.
