Called it that Marvel Rivals would crash and burn. It was just another "fuck you Overwatch, I'm going to play this game" trend game.
Um...the game isn't bombing. At all.
Marvel Rivals is doing great and ain't even close to bombing. I hate what happened with those lay offs, but the game is selling like hot cakes.
I kind of love the way that companies make stuff up to sound reasonable.
So, their argument here nothing other than "Some other companies' executives are paying themselves more than we do", with no explanation of why increasing executive pay at Meta was going to deliver any improvements in corporate performance.
If 266,000 average players is "crash and burn" to you, maybe you can be a Square-Enix executive!
Google’s Sergey Brin Urges Workers to the Office ‘at Least’ Every Weekday
The tech giant’s co-founder said that if employees worked harder and were in the office more, the company could reach an artificial general intelligence breakthrough.
Travel, exercise, personal appointments, "business meals" (eating lunch)? Why the hell are these all included in paid working hours? They ain't for me.I would love to work those hours if my week looked like thisGoogle’s Sergey Brin Urges Workers to the Office ‘at Least’ Every Weekday

One might assume that "business meals" involve at least some element of business to justify them being a paid activity.
One way or another, if we subtract the 20 hours of "miscellaneous" that doesn't appear to involve any work, that infographic suggests CEOs work 35 hours a week.
Depends whether 'working alone' actually means taking a nap in their office, like it does for the c-suit at my workplace.
In any case, in my experience few things are as detrimental to getting any actual work done as executives trying to get involved, so from that angle it's probably a good thing when they aren't around a lot.
I could see that, if it wasn't 5 hours a week-- equivalent to the hour lunch break a day an average employee often gets.
Methinks they're just taking their lunch with fellow execs and having it be paid.
Quite possibly. But then, I also think they're potentially having business breakfasts and dinners, too.
Broadly, I could credit 55h / week. I wouldn't be surprised if plenty of CEOs were doing substantially more. By and large, most people I know who are high up don't have much in the way of boundaries between work and home/play in this digital era. For instance, if you email them at 9pm, you might get a reply; they might be working in the evenings, etc. (potentially whilst watching TV or whatever).
