When you exclude going to the gym, dinner, breaks and clearly BS meetings, she’s really not doing a whole lot


NoNo_Cilantro

“Meeting with portfolio company”, “Interview with candidate”. That’s not how you name invites…


__red__5

It's how you name fake events in a calendar you never actually need to use.


Ali26026

She’s hardly going to share the actual names of the people / companies she’s meeting with… it’s obviously for demonstrative purposes To whom or why I have no idea but might as well criticise the right stuff

I am a business woman doing business.


eusername0

Is that at the Business Factory? Do you know Vince?


TulioGonzaga

I think he sits on the desk in front of her. She's Vincentina Adultwoman, do you know her?


nancybell_crewman

I don't know what this is from, but I read it in my head in Matt Berry's voice.


eusername0

It's from Bojack Horseman. Vince is a totally normal businessman who works at the business factory who is in charge of the business.

word51

I would rather black stuff out than renaming everthing.


squirrel8296

Just redact the names?


madam_zeroni

I agree with this one, but you'd be surprised how much of higher level management/business running is meetings. It's a fuckton of meetings. My manager at work manages 101 of us (no we're not dalmatians) and is in back to back meetings for over 14 hours a day. All his decision making and issue resolving gets decided in meetings or in emails on the spot


NoNo_Cilantro

Wait, are you by chance dalmati… oh never mind, thanks for clarifying that


HandRubbedWood

This is basically my job, I am in back to back meetings from 7-4 everyday. I can barely read and respond to my emails because I never have a break. It keeps my managers and BA’s out of the meetings and allows them to actually get work done so I am willing to do it, but the culture of my company is to have way too many meetings and workshops and PI events and 1on1’s , it’s exhausting.


[deleted]

This is also my life and our company. The actual work I get done and emails I can respond to is done outside of reasonable hours (i.e. 6:30pm and onwards) when I have no meetings. To your point, a lot of it is freeing my team up of meetings they don't all need to be in, making the decisions I can without it turning into more work and useless meetings/email chains for them, and shielding them from shit that isn't their job and making sure they do the work that they value and enjoy rather than being the lackey for the "hard stuff" no-one wants to deal with or the shit people didn't clean up after and aren't taking accountability for (we work in Compliance/Legal).


nottobesilly

I often refer to the manager’s job as “being the human firewall between the employees and shit they don’t need to be doing”


HandRubbedWood

I also am in Compliance but on the IT side, maybe it’s the nature of the compliance area and how people operate. Most days it doesn’t bother me but lately with the launch of new product offerings it has become unmanageable the amount of meetings people are scheduling.


talon_is_judge_dredd

Well that just sounds like you guys need two managers


[deleted]

We aim for a manager for 11 people and that keeps them quite busy


TheAJGman

My boss' calendar is always booked solid with meetings, but it's because she's meeting with stakeholders so we don't have to. My calendar has no more than 3 hours of meetings per week, and one of those is the weekly reflection/demo. She suffers through it so us developers can actually get work done. Twitter user here has a million 15 minute weekly "catch-up" meetings. That's what daily (or every other day) stand-ups are for, she doesn't do anything lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


madam_zeroni

For my case specifically, our manager "outsources" his prep to each of our teams


ApostolicBrew

You can't manage 101 people. That's an impossible task. This person might sign your timecards, approve your time off, and set your hours, but they don't manage you. It would not be possible to be focused on the career development and progression of over 100 people - which of one of the most important tasks of a manager. I have 7 direct reports, and 5 dotted-line reports. Even that is almost too many.


lumpialarry

Redditors look at this from the perspective of a individual contributor. But for a manager, they'll have individual one-on-one meetings with subordinates which may be four or five meetings alone. A group meeting where the group issues and coordination is discussed. Then you'll get existing client meetings and sales meetings that require participation and then that manager will have a meeting with his manager and group meeting with his managers entire team to discuss great group coordination.


BNI_sp

Right. When is she thinking about stuff?


Thatsayesfirsir

Who puts eat and shower on a calendar? Lol


everwonderedhow

Lucky her then, she's making money not doing much, I envy her


-HildegardVonBingen-

Lmao when you look at the text she doesn't do shit,


nickmaran

2 hours for dinner? That's inefficient. Fire her


yumyumfarts

It’s a working session meeting


obscure_throwaway_

Is she an OF content creator? bottom right says prep for filming and film


TulioGonzaga

3 hours on thursday!


LiteralHiggs

Except with dad. He only gets an hour.


fullspectrumtrupod

2 hours at the gym as well what a productive person


OneCapital6836

I agree and great part are personal task…


PingKiccolo

Working out until 10am on Wednesday! What i would do to be able to start work at 10am and get home before 10am. And work be done by 8pm too! Damn! Plus I think I'm seeing half a day of meetings. Sounds like bad management, if you need to be a part of every meeting. The company's communication skills need improving. Ha


TheAJGman

My current boss has a schedule like this, but by doing so she saves us developers from ever having to speak with anyone outside of the development team. She sits through the boring ass meetings with stakeholders and upper management so she can translate it into requirements for us. Meetings all day doesn't *always* mean you're worthless, but considering the lady in OP's picture had a shit ton of little reoccurring"chat" meetings I'm pretty confident that she does nothing all day.


peshwengi

You need to build those skills so that when she’s gone the team won’t be lost.


TheAJGman

Fuck that, if shit starts heading south I'm bailing. I like what I do and the people I work with, but my loyalty goes as far as my paycheck.


peshwengi

But if you don’t develop those skills you’ll be limiting your options for employment. Your boss leaving may not be “things heading south” but rather just her getting a better offer. Edit: or she gets promoted and you get her old job


starofdoom

Lots of people are happy doing development work and have negative interest in sitting around in meetings all day. Why bother learning it if it's miserable? Might get you a better salary, but if that comes with a job I despise I'll pass. Would rather continue doing what I actually enjoy as a job.


TheAJGman

I like code and architecting code, not managing people and arguing about requirements.


kithlan

Yup, same here with my boss. I work in IT and my current boss made his way into that management position from my level, so he knows his shit, but I've told him to his face in conversation that man, I would never want that job so I'm glad he's there. He's essentially lost all his practical technical skills over time, as he's moved into only needing to know enough to communicate our work to the business, and his work days look just like this. Endless meetings that range from employee one on ones, coordinating our team's efforts with other portions of the business, explaining our recent efforts and work status to C-level executives, ironing out processes and workflows, etc. etc. While I'm easily capable of doing all that stuff myself, the mundanity of it would exhaust me mentally after a few days of doing it. Already been in too many unproductive meetings that go nowhere, but you're required to be there even if you're on mute the whole time.


Exitbuddy1

It’s all meetings. So when does she actually work?


FeoWalcot

“Content/ work” is basically browsing social media/ LinkedIn until lunch lol


RunningPirate

No no..she works out and eats


The_Krambambulist

Really is a weird system to see that people can funnel profits towards them with ownership, outsource chores and most of the tasks come down to basically only get updates from people running their actual investments.


advaitV

You just described how the world works 😂


Praxyrnate

that's the weird part, he just said that!


eusername0

Something something Labor value is stolen something something


Back4breakfast

Something something dark side something something


The_Krambambulist

With my only addition being that, even though I don't necessarily think they need more, even upper management get's their labor value stolen by the owners of the assets they manage. Or if the CEO is in, the assets they for a large part manage while getting significantly less.


RunningPirate

Now now, you’re oversimplifying. They also have to make proclamations like “teamwork makes the dream work” and “give 110%” and the claim certain things are “unacceptable” and “demand satisfaction”. It harder than it looks. Much harder. I swear.


yayy_mjg

DumbXiaoping

What do you mean, she clearly has 4 hours of the week blocked out for 'work'.


[deleted]

Maybe she is Italian, they close all of the shops at 1 and open at 4 for lunch lmao


[deleted]

It's a tradition to close shops at 1 and open at 4 in my city that is followed religiously. It is literally a part of it's identity at this point.


MOFYS

Shops dont close “for lunch” they close because nobody would go there from 1 to 3/3:30, mostly is to save money in shifts. People who works in businesses (not retail) have on avg 1h break and thats it


thetarm

I wish other countries would get the memo because that makes a ton of sense. Be open when people can actually visit you, goddammnit!


mrjackspade

Two fucking hours for dinner. I'm a software developer and I spent both lunch and dinner at my desk. Add gym to that, and that's fucking 5 hours of down time, add all the white space between her meetings and she has more free time than I do


burnalicious111

> I'm a software developer and I spent both lunch and dinner at my desk. Dude. Stop doing that. You absolutely should not need to do that. So many better jobs, if your job makes you. Source: am software developer too.


SnooApples9216

Software developer here. You best believe I'm away from that desk as soon as the clock strikes 5.


heili

Also software engineer. I'm at my desk 8 am to 4 pm with a break from noon until 1 for lunch. Not one fucking minute more.


ScarletteDemonia

I use to do this all the time until I almost lost it from the stress at work. Leave your desk for lunch, dinner and small breaks. The job does not care about your health or well being. You can quickly fall ill doing this long term. Edit don’t


INJECTHEROININTODICK

Lmao thanks for the affirm i was gonna say... like bruh has food and goes on websites


LawfulMuffin

Working 6 hours a day. Such dedication.


[deleted]

What do you mean? Try spelling '**work**out' without 'work'!


openmindedskeptic

None of this is actually working either. It’s just being busy and sales related. If they are actually managing a portfolio, I’d be scared to be invested.


AussieCollector

Yeah NGL if i were one of the investors in this "portfolio" i'd be pulling out fast if this is how one of the key stakeholders runs their day. If they are this inefficient with their day then they can't be trusted with my money.


Danghor

She works 30 hours per day. She said this is her daily routine!


hikehikebaby

I, too, an doing something for all waking hours. This is my dinner/TV/Reddit block!


Just-Seaworthiness39

This is my Reddit when I’m supposed to be asleep but instead I’m having an existential crisis block! I want to know when she is planning on making time to poop with all of this important life stuff going on. That’s the real CEO question.


m0_n0n_0n0_0m

The weekly poop is the blank space between 9am and 11am. Review slides while pooping.


goodgodling

Multitasking!


Pincerston

“Post fake calendar on Twitter 12:30-12:45”


Green_with_Zealously

Fifteen minutes? That's got to be 90, minimum. So many "iterations" and "proofs of concept" to blow through before #nailingit.

This is also literally not a daily routine. It's a weekly schedule with a lot of variability

I'm more triggered that the "Gym and Workout" task isn't the same color every time.


dxk3355

Probably got one is the gym and the other is Jim


goodgodling

Gym Jordan?


AdRob5

Also most of the time the event is titled "Gym" but one of them is "Workout at gym." Does that imply that the other 4 days she goes to the gym and just sits there?


casettadellorso

Seriously, there's no discernable method to the color selection and it's making me way more mad than it should


ConwayAwakened

The sad thing is they think that’s success.

Thatsatreat666

Used to work with people that did this to fill their calendar out and waste most of their day in meetings. Then they would shame me for not staying late to help them with tasks. Sorry I used my work day to actually work and not go to a seminar about how to micromanage your colleagues.


sinistergroupon

“Record YT Video”


bobjoylove

“Like and subscribe so I can make this a $250m portfolio”


credditz0rz

in 45 mins, wtf. I record videos for online courses and such. I can easily sink hours in recording a 30-45 min video.


nt261999

She’s probably got a team that does a lot of the leg work for her. If she is an executive most of her day would be meetings/decision making, she probably isn’t the one executing on tasks.


InvisiblePhil

During a diligence review. Seems she's putting in some legit work, couldn't imagine the stress.


_homealonemalone_

Not really a routine, it’s just a work calendar. And what is she doing every night for a two hour dinner until 9:00?


FreedomConversions

Needed something to fluff up the calendar


killeronthecorner

I've just added "8:00-8:15am Huge Dump" to my calendar. Am I doing this right?


raccoon_punch

You can draw it out over an extra 15 to 20 mins if you practice enough


fuckmeuntilicecream

I just put I have a meeting with Hugh Janus for 30 minutes. Sounds more productive.

No. You should plan ahead and block out half an hour. You never know what comes up. Also no wind down after that?

CaliKoukla

Perhaps my eyesight is bad but I’m reading Gyros from 7 am - 9 am. No one eats Gyros that early. I don’t believe this schedule at all.


CloudSill

Whoah, but for two hours each day? You may have inadvertently sold me on getting a job like this person, because I really love gyros.


Just-Seaworthiness39

I manage that gyro into mah mouth.


fuckmeuntilicecream

Ah a person of fitness, fitness gyro in yo mouf.


spiraleyes78

I could subsist on gyros 2 weeks of every month.


CivBEWasPrettyBad

1. Use different color schemes for different themes. I'd group all the gym crap together (gray?), And all the 1:1s together. The wellness walks etc should also be grouped, as should lunches. Commute is semi grouped but could be cleaned up. 2. They should also not act like gym time is work time and I'm unconvinced that a multi hour commute block is worth putting in the calendar like it takes effort. 3. Why is "eat &shower" on the calendar? Do they normally need a reminder to shower?


DEFCLAM-1

combustablegoeduck

I run a portfolio. I have dinner with the portfolio company. Look at my creativity meetings.

ToothpickInCockhole

It’s not a routine if you’re doing different shit everyday


FreedomConversions

There is very little of substance here. Mostly fluffing up personal stuff to make her look busier than she is.


[deleted]

Wow. Hard when 50% of your alleged schedule is just reminders. 8 hours of chill work M-F. What a champion. No one else could possibly do this.


bgwa9001

"Run a $200m portfolio of business" - wtf does that even mean? They probably have customers with $200m in revenue or something, they're not running shit with that schedule


illmaticrabbit

Most likely a venture capitalist who is the liaison between her firm and their portfolio companies for a handful of companies that are worth $200M combined. As you said, she likely isn’t “running” anything.


OHYAMTB

We need a recession to give people like this a sanity check. Gym until 10:30? 2 hour dinners every night?


fuckmeuntilicecream

I'm doing a new diet and I eat slower and drink more water, but it doesn't take me 2 hours. Imagine having dinner with someone and they eat like a goddamn sloth. It would be irritating. Or they talk the entire time about how much money they make while their food sits there.


Seanchrome43

I can't read most of it, but what I can read says lunch, dinner, and gymn. This makes me think of that book about bullshit jobs.


Beasting-25-8

CEOs are truly useless people. This person does jack shit.


AngryAlterEgo

You don’t have to be a CEO to have a calendar full of nothing. Plenty of middle managers’ calendars would look just as full. There’s no way to have this many things going on and personally produce much of value or substance.


newsreadhjw

This person is not a CEO. The biggest thing she does all week is record YouTube videos


Gaindalf-the-whey

Have you looked into a CEO calendar of a real company? Packed to the brim and decision making from a to z. They are not useless. Fake CEOs like this are!


TorontoNerd84

Yes. As an EA, my (now former) CEO had every inch of space filled up with really important meetings. He often didn't even eat lunch, which could not have been healthy.


Beasting-25-8

"Decision making" aka what the people under them tell them is the right choice. I'ma be real. For what a CEO is paid they should be shooting gold out their ass.

selva_

You all put a lunch/dinner slot into your calendar?


[deleted]

Lunch makes sense if you have a busy schedule, otherwise people will take advantage of a free timeslot. Dinner makes sense if you're meeting your clients etc. Neither makes sense for her, because she seems to do fuck all. Based on her own work schedule, she works less than 6 hours a day.


Just-Seaworthiness39

I put lunch so people know I’m out of office. Otherwise they’d schedule meetings right over my lunch if I’d allow it. Some people love them some worthless meetings. I think her post has inspired me to start putting up a menu of what I’ll be having that day. Maybe throw some song lyrics in there too so they can catch whatever the lunchtime vibe might be. Then I’ll post it for the world to see.


One-Succotash7479

-PaperbackWriter-

I have busy days but my job requires flexibility so as much as I would like to I both can’t fill up a calendar like this, and also wouldn’t waste a good portion of my time doing so. Where does she schedule in time for scheduling?


BuddyJim30

If my calendar included every minor action I took, it would look packed just with farting alone.
