Hard work and dedication tend to be viewed as positive traits in a professional setting. However, everything in moderation, as they say, and the same goes for striving for outstanding results at work. Yet some people choose to walk the extra mile, even if that means compromising at the expense of their free time or even their loved ones.
Such hustlers often try to encourage others to strive for excellence, too, by methods that some would consider questionable at best. We have combed through the vastness of the internet to find examples of such motivational posts and tips on how to fully use your potential, even if that means forgetting what a weekend or a day off feels like. Scroll down to find them on the list below, but remember that it might be best to take such advice with a healthy dose of skepticism.

You Don't Need A Weekend
Even people 3000 years ago realized humans need a freaking day off! It's written into religion. The 7th day is a day of rest! Humans get burned out. You have to have time to turn your brain Off!
Also, why do you need money when everything you do is hustling?
Load More Replies...Do such people have only work goals and not anything other worthwhile in their lives?
Speak for yourself, my people have had weekends for 3500 years. It’s worked out great for us.
This entire thread makes me wish for nothing more than to go find a nice comfortable bear cave to go live in. I'm sure I will have an easier time negotiating with the bear than these lunatics who seem to be dominating society these days.
With this logic, we also don't "need" technology, cars, etc. given that they're modern inventions.

This sounds like a tech bro version of one of Trump's "Sir" stories.
I honestly thought this was a satirical post. Then checked the guy's profile, and no, he is a bona fide imbecile! From his page: "A Columbia Business School student enrolled in their full-time MBA program", who "edit Exec Sum, the daily financial newsletter [...] [a gig] which I landed by sending Mr. Meme page a DM when I was drunk in Colorado", who "run a course on building and monetizing newsletters" and claim that "once [his s****y blog] reaches a critical size, I’ll write a book or two or three, because 'author' just sounds so much cooler than 'blogger' ". The guy's is basically Linkedin's village idiot.
I thought his account was satirical because I can't imagine anyone who genuinely believes what they're saying would put "The most entertaining account on LinkedIn" under their name. For my sanity I'm not going to investigate this further
Load More Replies...I genuinely don't understand this mentality - same with people who say they wouldn't know what to do if they retire - are people really that boring?
The retiring part i can sort of get behind. I like my job and my daily rutines. Dont get me wrong i like having vacation and the weekends off. But i also like what i do for a living.
Load More Replies...The only insane thing is that this guy thinks he's smarter than an actual professional.
Also known as the grindset, the hustle culture depicts its representatives as go-getters always striving for excellence, as there’s always new goals to reach, more money to make, or more benefits to reap. As BBC Workplace puts it, they are the people who wake up at 4AM, chug down a coffee and a green juice, and get cracking.
According to BBC, such a mindset has likely stemmed from the giants at Silicon Valley and spread like wildfire in part thanks to modern technology. (You have likely seen motivational videos of the benefits of starting the workday at 4am yourself, if you’re online at all.)
“Silicon Valley had an image of being a paradigm of the economy, at the cutting edge of technology,” Nick Srnicek, a lecturer in digital economy at King’s College London, told BBC, adding that such a leading position means that whatever happens in the valley spreads elsewhere, too.

All these idiots with posts like this...I'd really like to be in the room to see them turn down the $1.2b. Because they wouldn't. This is the Linkedin equivalent of "thoughts and prayers."

Normalize Not Having A Life
Oh baby I don't make more money if I work more hours. I get sent home with a reminder that business hours are business hours and the question if I'm alright
As it should be. It's a work-life balance not a work/work balance.
Load More Replies...yeah no i don't get more money when i work more. i live in europe i have to work 40 hours a week and i get paid for that. if i work more, i have to - and i know this sounds crazy - to take time off later to compensate, because i'm not allowed to work too much per week. if i work more than 50 hours a week my employer gets in trouble.. if i had two jobs i wouldn't be able to work 60 hours a week because IT IS NOT ALLOWED!! empolyees right are a thing
Seriously does someone over there have a closet for my family and me to live in? I have a degree in computer science and I'm a diligent worker!
Load More Replies...As someone who has had rough work hours, you actually end up spending more because you don’t have time to do things the slower, cheaper way, so you do them the faster, more expensive way. And you get MORE stressed about problems because you don’t have time to solve them.
And then you wake up in hospital after your cardiac arrest wishing you'd maybe relaxed a little.
I may make more money but I'll wager I'll make a few more bad calls that could cost lives. But what the heck...as long as MY paycheck's bigger, right?
I saw a video once of a guy claiming he reinvented time and have more hours in a day, but all he did was splitting the hours in half 🤣
Srnicek added that the hustle culture legitimizes the idea of long hours being the only way to success. In addition to that, “Hustle culture ideology says that people are overworking not because they’re economically driven to, but simply because this is the way go-getters get what they want,” the expert explained.
That might be true as representatives of the hustle culture are often wealthy enough to allow themselves a little break; but instead of that, they choose to continue hustling. If you’re looking for proof, check the LinkedIn profiles of some wealthy individuals and you should be able to find at least a couple of pro-hustle mentality posts.
“With the rise of LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok, hustle culture narratives exploded,” another expert, Dannielle Haig, principal psychologist at DH Consulting—a consultancy specializing in leadership development and wellbeing at work—told BBC.
My Brother Is Sick But I'm Grateful I Could Avoid Taking A Day Off And Work Remotely From The Hospital
“You poor thing.” I’m totally serious. This is like when an abused partner says “So grateful the doctor let me take an irate call from [abuser] while discussing the prognosis of my brother’s life-threatening condition”.
This is so sad. What sort of crazy society is it that insists on people working when they are clearly needed elsewhere?
Exactly! I recently went into work worried sick about my poor old dog and told them I was waiting to hear back from the vet, and might have to leave at break time. The lovely office manager said to just take the first appointment available and go! I got my dog seen to by 10am and home by 10.30, and was then able to go back to work knowing she was going to be fine, and that they had my back too.

Absolutely definitely prey to an MLM. Firstly they hook people in with 'work the hours you want to work, not when a boss tells you' and 'work as much or as little as you want'. Once you're trapped they then push **hard** at the fact that the reason you are not making the money expected is because you are not working hard enough and promote working constantly, including such highly inappropriate moments as above. All the work is, btw, is recruiting more vulnerable people to buy starter kits.
Poor brother! He gets to be annoyed watching her work while he's sick. She's definitely a brown nosed! Oh look at ME, I work so hard!

FFS girl! Rest, eat, read a book or watch TV, do something that’s not work! Believe me, your bladder, liver, and kidneys will thank you, you will be overall healthier and more on the ball instead of babbling, and you will avoid psychosis from sleep deprivation, dehydration, and starvation.
What A Miserable Outlook On Life
The only people I've ever known who talk like this are meth addicts.
And diagnosed sociopaths like my dad 😂 but my dad wouldn’t promote it
Load More Replies...No no no. The correct one is "Am I being paid OVERTIME and WEEKEND extra for it?"
Load More Replies...No thanks! I'm fine being part of the masses and sleeping until noon.
Why are you not able to do what you need to do within the hours you are hired for? And what employer is willing to pay you overtime just to have you catch up on the work you should have done in the time allotted?
Even though, according to Haig, the narratives surrounding hustle culture have exploded with the rise of social media, the bubble seems to have already burst, or is likely slowly going down now. Instead of focusing on the grindset, employees nowadays opt for quiet quitting, which has unsurprisingly been pushed to the forefront by social media, too.
According to Investopedia, having started to appear in people’s professional setting back in 2020 (and in their vocabularies in 2022), quiet quitting refers to doing the bare minimum: enough to maintain the job, but not a step—not to mention a mile—extra.
Back then, in 2020, roughly half of young adults—52% of those aged 16 to 24, to be exact—reportedly believed in the efficiency of the hustle culture. (The older generations didn’t as much, though, as the percentage for those between 25 and 44 stood at 39% and 35% for people 45 and older.)

He Didn’t Have Enough Time To Learn To Do His Job In A Timely Manner
Yes, and that is why I vote for parties who want to make things better for workers.
Counter point: We don't have enough time on the this planet to waste it at work on the weekend.
All these turds are in their 20's. They are going to look 50 when their 30.
Literally the opposite of what the OP is saying here is the reality. We don't have enough time on this planet to Be Throwing It All Away WORKING.
We don't have enough time on this planet to waste it on a 9-5, 5 days a week. Why is this a*****e's name censored?
I mean if you die early because you drive yourself into the ground, sure
YES... WE... DO... You mess with our weekends and people will break and then THINGS will break and then rich useless scumbags like this will be broken.
We don't get enough time on this planet to work ourselves to death. Settle down bro.
It’s no surprise that constant hustling can have serious consequences, as it often inevitably leads to stress and burnout. According to a survey carried out by Deloitte, 77% of respondents have experienced burnout at their place of employment. To make matters worse, roughly half of them have faced such a distressing state more than once.

Load More Replies...So he did chores and you gave him money? Yeah, that's an allowance....
My ex-boss also posted sth similar to his socials recently, that he pays his sons to make their bed etc and the only thing in my mind it is teaching them, that someday they will not do ANYTHING they will not be paid for, so they are going to be super "fun" roommates and life partners in their futures
So basically they give him money for doing chores but they’re also wänkers.

Pffft sleeping is a waste of time. YOU COULD USE THIS TIME TO ACTUALLY WORK! 😝
Deloitte's survey also found that, contrary to some hustlers’ beliefs, those who enjoy their work can feel stressed about it, too. Contrary to another point often pushed by representatives of the hustler culture, stress is not always a motivating force to do better; it can simply be a state that makes one’s life miserable.
The survey found that more than nine-in-ten respondents admitted that having an unmanageable amount of stress and frustration has negatively impacted the quality of their work, and an additional eight-in-ten believed that burnout from work has negatively impacted their personal relationships.

#1 is reasonable since it's with a lot of companies business hours, and is a normal time of day for most people. For the rest of it they can go f**k themselves.
8. We scammed desperate job seekers into providing us with services we didn't have to pay for.
I'm ok with the first one. I'm up by then anyway. I'm even ok with #6 if the circumstances couldn't be avoided. As for the rest, I'd tell you to go f**k yourself and get back to your family quick, because they might not still be waiting for you.
Whether motivated by the hustle culture of saying no to days off or not, many people fail to use the vacation days they have at work; Deloitte’s survey revealed that roughly one fourth of them never or rarely use all of them.
That, too, can lead to some troublesome outcomes, as taking a break at least once in a while is crucial for an individual’s well-being. According to Verywell Mind, our body is designed to respond to short bursts of stress, so prolonging such a detrimental state can lead to chronic stress and health problems that arise from it (such as gastrointestinal issues and high blood pressure, just to name a couple).
In The Hustle Culture Sunken Place
#MikeDrop? Er....no, you better pick that mike back up and hand it to somebody else, so they can tell you you're a fool.
I think everyone in this article will drop dead from stress by the time they're 40yo.
I'm beginning to think that a lot of these hustle types are survivors of childhood abuse or trauma. A lot of their rhetoric sounds like the kind of things that abusive parents say to children. And this one really sends up some signals.....like "if everything is working smoothly I must be doing something wrong." "Things only look right if it all is going to he77". Who thinks like this.

My Family Is More Important Than Work, But Let Me Bring My Daughter Into Work And Make Her Sit At A Desk For 8 Hours Whilst She’s Having A Tough Day
No, people would not think your family is more important than your work. Bringing your daughter to your work when she's having a tough day is the exact opposite.
"Having a rough day at school", happens to kids, and bringing them to work is not a bad solution. The kid isn't sick or hurt, and just needs a break from school. They don't need somebody to pay attention to them, they just need some time to themselves. Hanging out at the office, reading or playing on a tablet, and then getting lunch with mom is a perfectly acceptable way to pass such a day.
I was thinking it could be done properly. Mom could attend an important meeting and get a few things done. But in between would be able to sit and talk with her daughter. I wouldn’t restrict it to just lunch, I’d take 15-20 min here or there throughout the day. I’ve had my kid snuggled against me while I’ve worked (when teleworking). I can get things done and I can stop and care for my child, feed them, listen to them.
Load More Replies...Devil’s advocate: if I’d been allowed to go sit in there instead of being around my bullies, I’d have gone for it.
Why does ever LI post include the phrase "it's that's simple" after the stupidest "revelation" I've ever read. Like, no. No. Adding that phrase doesn't convince me you're a genius. You still sound so stupid.
Your daughter is upset so you take her to your work, leave her to cry at a random desk and then post a picture of it to social media. You in your weird egocentric justification call this prioritizing your family. Your daughter does not lool like she's feeling very prioritized. She looks like a kid that will spend years in therapy to get over your parenting. What the hell is wrong with you?
Uh zoom in.... The child's watching a movie on a tablet.
Load More Replies...Yes thank you faceless corporation for convincing me that I have to factor in your well being prior to attending my family's needs! I offer up my offspring and their psyche for you to obliterate.
But for people pushing themselves to the limit 24 hours a day, seven days a week, taking short breaks might not be enough. According to the adult and child psychiatrist and a clinical professor at NYU, Lea Lis, MD, in order to avoid burnout and a mental health decline, it might be necessary for them to redefine what success means to them and how to reach it.
“Things like taking a bath, getting your nails done, or ‘me time’ can hardly begin to reprogram the stress we put our bodies through from the second we wake up and grab our phones,” she wrote in Psychology Today.

On your death bed, will say, 'I wish I spent more time at work." or "I wish I spent more time with my loved ones."?
Sounds like my 20s, when I worked 5 jobs and still didn't make enough for rent. Poor people aren't lazy; most just haven't had the same privileges as some others.

Hmmm....I suspect your definition of successful is very different to mine - that's ok, no-one's right or wrong - but I bet I'll have a happier fuller life than you.
Someone needs to explain to this guy that lying on a a yacht and paying a prostitute to snort cocaine off your ãss is the billionaire equivalent of netflix and chill.
Did they forget that to become a millionaire by "hustling" you also have to show a complete lack of empathy. Very few people have gotten there without using/abusing other people. Jeff Bezos has inhumane working conditions for the lowest rung employees. Musk's father became rich from his emerald business (it's debated if he owned the actual mine or not) and you know who works in a lot of those mines ? Poor people and children. No decent person would be a billionaire, they'd use the money to further the community or battle climate change or any things like that.
Real billionaires like Elon Musk don't "Netflix & chill" - they get high on ketamine and tweet.
The vast majority of billionaires do whatever they want whenever they want. They have already hired a system of employees to do the grinding for them, providing others a job while building more wealth.
I don't know if that guy is a billionaire but he sure looks angry.
CEO Trying To Normalize Making 40 People Come In On A Saturday
I did a Saturday morning once off my own back as due to 12 people starting on a Monday and we only found out about them on the Friday. Went in to set up their accounts. Asked about overtime, told I wasn't going to get any. Never did it again. Anything that came in after I logged off for the day, I picked up the next day even if it meant clashing with my director.
This is OK if it’s a once in a while thing, asked for well in advance, and paid overtime!
They need 40 recruiters, sales people, managers and other people to find 50 temp employees and use that as an example of their team's dedication and efficiency? Hmm.

Joel Freund, you look like an unsuccessful, out of shape vampire. Looks like someone needs a nap in their coffin again...
My job switched to 4.5 days a week. I still do 40 hours, 4 days are just longer. I have a feeling this guy thinks the same way--they're doing us a huge favor, even though we do the same amount of work.
Being "Just" A Full-Time Student Is Not Good Enough
... so I shouldn't be a PhD student? This person clearly has not done higher education or did and only partied.
Oh, you mean learning something for the sake of learning it to teach to others how to do it? Yeah, eff off you parasitic drain on society! Nobody should simply be "studying"! I'm weeping for society right now that people believe this BS. It is really disgusting. Yes, public schools were designed to create a literate working class. Technology advanced to the point where working class people could learn for the sake of learning. Let's get rid of all that. Let's go back to the Industrial Age. You are 8 years old and can read and write? Get to work. Truly I am weeping.

Ahhhh... But are we not always learning? Are we not all 'students' of life?
Grind 24/7 365
Does it come with an assistant that takes pictures to post on social media?
The picture was taken by a random passer-by, who then posted it on social media with the caption "Get a load of this douchebag!".

"Say What You Will But I Worked During Vacation And Then Had To Post It On LinkedIn Because I’m So Productive And So Busy And Grind Hard To Show Everyone"
As someone in an industry where the workload can be rough, the bosses are on the right track, but they need drop the loving scolding and have a serious conversation about how to avert this problem in future.
Yep, sounds like management has no idea how to run the company, and it's like a Chinese fire drill, all the time.
Load More Replies...Bed In Office > No Bed In Office
I got promoted every year in my mid-life career change by working 37.5 hours per week and taking my 5 weeks annual leave.
It’s sad, because if that woman died tomorrow they’d replace her in a week. “So sad about Niya, right? Well, life goes on.” And all her life wasted.
A job shouldn't own you or your time. Sleeping on the floor in the office is just wrong.
Virtue Signalling 101
Yeah, I made the mistake of going back to work 2 weeks after a C-section. 2 weeks later I was in the hospital for a WEEK with sepsis. Don't f**k with your health ladies. Your body is healing!
Thank god you healed and everything turned out okay. Sepsis is terrifying, plus I can't imagine your fear with such a young baby 🤱

No need to gaze at the baby you had forming inside you for nine months to finally get to know every miniscule detail of this precious human's face, there's a computer screen with hustle work on it to look at instead. She made the solid choice because the kid will eventually grow up and leave to find their own hustle, but her hustle will always be there. Choose wisely ladies, choose wisely.
You Should Also Be Working At The Weekend
The part about the you can't spell weekend without week is sooooooo not as profound as you thought it was my guy. It's actually so stupid.
You can't spell 'weekend' without 'week' which is a misspelling of 'weak' which also describes his analogy.
He has no friends that could take a picture of him...
Hey, work the hours you want to work, just don't expect others to.
Does This Count?
It sure looks like it paid off and it doesn't say "#open to work" on that green ribbon.... 'facepalm'
Where Do People Get These Statistics From
This one is different. The statistic is b******t but the idea is sound. Do something you like 15 minutes a day and indeed after a year or two you’ll be much better at it. And not necessarily a work thing.
I have been trying to do a minimum of 15 minutes of language learning a day. A few days ago, I was watching a youtube video; the creator is German, but the videos are presented in English. However, every now and then, there's a brief snatch of German. I was so utterly delighted when I understood it. There was no thought, no translation, it just arrived in my brain as easily as if it had been said in English. It made me so happy.

I drink 3 coffees a day. Each one takes 18 minutes. Does that mean I should own Starbucks?
You can read every text book in the world, but if you don't use the knowledge in a real world environment it doesn't mean sĥ*t. You can read a book on C++ but it's useless if you don't code. You can read a book on driving a vehicle with a 13 speed transmission, but it doesn't matter if you don't actually drive the vehicle. Book knowledge isn't real knowledge.
Can confirm, based on our election results I am better than 90% of people in my country at giving a damn about poverty.
When 7 Days Of Work Is Just Not Enough
Who's going to break it to him that eight days a week only exists in a Beatles song? Math can be hard though...
Poverty Redefined
Then I'm good! I'm 41 and I make waaay more than 41 dollars a year in my job. I'm killing it!
I make my age in salary after about 2 hours. Guess I can have another coffee first.......
Ummmm....that's just called a living wage, and then it should be at least double your age.
This is great math. You should never, NEVER be paid less per year than your age.
Aspiring To Be Just Like Genghis Khan Through Blogging
Military tactics to handle Monday blues? Which field is he working in?
If there's one thing we all know that Genghis Khan, Ulysses S. Grant, and Hannibal of Carthage had in common it was a great blog.
I’m Not Sure I Would Trust An Engineer That Doesn’t Know How To Make A Spotify Playlist
As someone who has watched Air Crash Investigation, this kind of thing ends with people dead.
Half of my family are engineers. And in good positions in multi national companies so don't give me this b******t. In fact, the engineers are far cooler and jolly people than the others (at least in my family)
It's true that engineers don't know what a sunset looks like. But it's not because we're working, we just never go outside.😝
"We know how to complete a 20+ assignment in one day" A 20+ page reading assignment? A 20+ writing assignment? A 20+ slide deck A 20+ list of features to a website You can't finish a sentence properly. You can't complete a 10 LINE assignment (that you gave yourself) correctly. STFU.
My 1 Hour A Week With My Son
Do you want a round of applause for having the decency to ignore your phone for the 1 hour you are spending with your son? They clearly don't spend that much time with them anyway from the sounds of it if they're only learning how much their son knows about things that interest him.
It's "holes", not "wholes". Maybe during your one hour with your son, he can teach you the difference.
If you think ignoring your work phone for *an hour* to give undivided attention to your son is worthy of a self-congratulatory post on social media, I predict you're not going to see much of your son in your later years (cue "Cat's in the Cradle")...
I Wore My Merch To The Birth Of My Child So I Could Put The Photo On Linkedin
At first, I thought "softest, most snuggle-worthy" was going to describe that second chin, Marketopia bro. Way to hustle and not wait even an hour to use your kid for financial gain and shove a camera in their face to give you attention. (Slow clapping here.)
Never Stop Grinding
You also forget Good Friday if you're not Catholic, since it's not even a recognized holiday in many countries.
Shoot, I'm Catholic and I sometimes forget when it's Good Friday. I don't know where OP is from but we don't get a day off on Good Friday.

Not sure this belongs here. She's posting that someone else is presenting instead with a picture of why.
Maybe because instead of spending time with her baby, she's posting?! If someone's replacing you due to an emergency, then shouldn't you let them replace you and focus on the emergency?!

Brand Integration During A Wedding Ritual. Glad She Doesn't Work With Durex
I really doubt he wanted to marry her if he did that with the varmala. I feel kind of bad for her and the family
I think I know what this means... Best I can tell, he pretended the pretty flower garland went missing, then pretended to order it on Amazon, then had someone "deliver" it because... they work for Amazon?!?!?!
If they were expecting me to think "Wow! What a bunch of inspiration individuals!" they're sadly mistaken. I came away from this thinking "What a bunch of wankers".
It's inspiring in that I am inspired not to be such a colossal b*****d when it comes to work and life
Load More Replies...Gawd these posts are ridiculous. Unfortunately, I've met people like this IRL. None of the are remotely happy, and most are not close to being successful in anything that matters. They are just as insufferable as their post sound. You feel free to hustle on the weekend. I'm going to the park with my kids to enjoy the time we have together.
This is just depressing, why are these people so proud of this? I work on weekends because I'm a casual employee, and I don't have other obligations besides filling spots where people can't come in, people seriously work weekends for fun? The only upside is better pay on sundays, I don't get why you'd do it if you're already working week days
These people are not well. My wife and I have spent the better part of the last decade working seven days a week because we’ve had to. Each time we feel like we’re about to crawl out of the hole it’s another medical, dental or veterinary emergency. I think of all the time I’ve lost—400+ weekends just gone!—and it makes sick to think that someone would willingly surrender the time they could spend with family and friends, broadening their horizons, and simply enjoying life.
Funny how much "grinding" looks like making phone calls and writing emails. Where are all the selfies of people putting up drywall 80 hours a week?
Here is a life lesson from a person that is very successful in her career and earns a good living: Work to live, don't live live to work. Stand up for yourself. Brag a little about your accomplishments. Find something that brings you joy and do it with wild abandon (it doesn't have to be for work; join a group, paint figurines, crochet, bathe stray cats). Spend time with loved ones. Unplug. And most importantly, never, never, ever work for free.
Couldn't finish. Makes me feel sick that there are people like this out there and they clearly need help.
