When I accepted my current job, I did so on the conditions that I’d work 4x10 and fully from home (after training). When I started, they said there had been a misunderstanding about full WFH and that I was allowed to WFH one day a week. (That eventually changed during COVID but no one ever apologized to me for lying to me.)
Seven years later - last year - they told me that it was “unfair” that I’m the only person who had a special schedule (apparently I was the last person to have it, but I certainly was not the only) and took that away, too.
I live in a rural area and will not be able to find a comparable job nearby. I’ve been contemplating what to do.
On my first job the boss was telling a story about one of his previous jobs, where at one point they had to redo a whole week’s worth of work in one night. They tried hard and managed to do it. So I just added: “it’s in those times one see how slow they usually work”
Marathons don’t move at the speed of business though. Progress moves business faster. Commerce IS business. Fast businesses use speed to move faster than their clients speed.
Business, business business. Speed. Solutions.
Edit: how am I being downvoted lol - obviously what I wrote is nonsense straight from every Amazon, UPS, IBM commercial every made. Maybe I’m just moving at the speed of business. Keep up!
I’d laugh, but this just seems like it would actually happen.

Wanna share the plan? I’m still trying to come up with something for my boss.

I would have prepared my two weeks notice letter in advance and handed it to him right after he said those words.
They would never give you notice if they were firing you. They don’t deserve that courtesy from you.
I’m less than 50% confident the OP is a joke.
It’s a joke based on a true story.

Burnout is a thing too. There’s a reason marathon runners don’t sprint.
ya it’s cuz they aren’t side hustling enough

Most in the c-suite truly think that way.
Very few business are sprints, they go for longevity like marathoners.
Even most know not to treat their employees that way too.
Or rather we see just how much labor original work is compared to replication.
