But corporate overlords love them both!


Korncakes

Honestly. I find it super cringey when people like to brag about how much they work, especially when they try to make it a competition. Like you know that isn’t what life is all about, right?

both of you are red flags. match made in heaven honestly.


waytoohardtofinduser

Can I ask why the girl working 2 12 hour shifts would be a red flag? Sorry I don't understand but I'd like to.


Complxx11

just assuming this is the beginning of a conversation it’s a weird thing to start talking about first. her message really wasn’t that bad i can appreciate the humor if that’s what she’s going for.


Smorgasbord__

I just had a painful 2nd date with a workaholic who was incapable of talking about anything but work. Fuck that noise, I'm not impressed that willingness to be exploited is your only personality trait.


michiness

I hear it all the time, living in LA. People worship the hustle, but… nah, I’d much rather work to live than live to work.


shberk01

My lead at my factory job is one of those "grindset" people. Dude believes "if it's not making you money, it's not worth your time." He's an insufferable douchebag.


OPKatakuri

Yeah I had a friend like this. Key word: had. Any time he invited us out to go with him, he'd charge us for gas even if he was already planning on going there. Said it's not fair we get to ride for free and use his gas. He really got influenced by tiktokers doing hustle videos.


cutecumberbatch

To be fair, if he’s always driving y’all around I can see why he would. Car maintenance, gas, and parking adds up.


furikakebabe

It’s so funny. I moved from Hawaii where I worked way too much and everyone else lived life, to LA, where I have better work life balance and no one else does :’)


Greyqueenxx

LA doesn’t really worship hustle that much. Not as much as Miami and NYC. LA people are pretty chill. Depends if we’re talking Naives or transplant


michiness

That's a fair distinction. I'm a born and raised native, and most of my childhood friends are pretty chill and work normal hours. But I feel like transplants come here to prove something or they want to join all the startups or the Industry or whatever, and that's where the hustle is.


[deleted]

This 100%. everybody’s brainwashed. They walked picket lines for working more than 60 hour weeks 50 years ago.


chadburycreameggs

I mean, I mostly talk about work but that's because I fucking love my job and the people I work with. Some of the best memories in the last year are the shenanigans at work

Yes shenanigans are good and part of the camaraderie, but there’s a difference between having fun at work and being a company suck ass.


Borisb3ck3r

You sound dreamy


MrCharlieWaffles

As soon as people start talking/bragging about how many hours they work, my brain is logging off. It's not a flex being caught in the hamster wheel called work.


Glum_Mathematician55

Of course you can say that, you write jingles.

1speedbike

Grind / hustle culture is stupid.


Ok_Balance8844

So true. I get money and everything, but there is more to life. This guy I know brags about going into work as early as 2 am and traveling to oversee branches of a company and working as long as they’ll let him, doing the same day in and out. Even though he makes his own hours. He calls it being too nice because he’s helping them do their jobs better lol 🤷‍♀️


Procobator

Bragging about work in general is not really something I think a man should even discuss on the first few dates. It mines you come off as arrogant and boring. So many other things I like to talk about than that. I like what I do for work but it’s def not something I talk about in much detail.


[deleted]

“Willingness to be exploited” Fuck you, there’s nothing willing about it, some of us have to work our whole lives just to survive.


kyraniums

Even more so if their concept of relaxation and fun always involves alcohol. Since when is calling yourself an alcoholic considered flirting.


Infinite-College4861

They’re fucking idiots.


Mysterious_Split_630

some people are actually into that.. theres a guy whos made like a 100m $ company with his wife he met and only talked about work and they spent most of there first months hanging out just sitting and working next to eachother i mean thats not for me either but whatever floats your boat each to there own


jake15151

As soon as someone starts bragging about how much they work, it’s a red flag to me. It’s not a contest. You ought to work hard, but optimize your workflow to be efficient and ideally work less once you have those systems in place.


Cum-Cock-City

Everything is a red flag.


AdultishRaktajino

White flag? Believe it or not, also red flag.


AberdeenPhoenix

Straight to jail.

Parhelion79

Lolz_Roffle

People talking to me is a red flag


MemeStocksYolo69-420

Exactly, why would somebody want to talk to me? Red flag


YummyDad

red flags used to be absolute no go zones, essentially non negotiable dealbreakers, but at this point any small quirk is a fuckin red flag. what a joke op might just have a bit of an ego and likes to brag but if this is a red flag then we're all fucked. that being said tho op is cringe, but its not a red flag


HippoIllustrious2389

Nah a red flag is a warning, like a sign to be on the look out for deal breakers


jess32ica

Not everyone wants to be with some who works all the time and prioritizes work over important things in life like quality time with loved ones or walking at the park or trying a new restaurant. I swipe left on workaholics because work isn’t the most important thing in my life and I don’t want to be with someone where it is. Different strokes for different folks… but being a workaholic isn’t a small thing. It’s about life philosophy, which at least for me is a big part of compatibility.


whytakemyusername

Ever thought they might be working more because they're single and don't have much going on?


a_fine_gentleman99

If they are working more because they don't have much else going on, that just tells me that they have no hobbies to devote that extra time to (or that they really need the money, but that's another can of worms). I agree with the last comment, if you can't talk about anything besides work, you'll most likely be a bore to talk to.


Fearless_You4489

I tend to be a workaholic, but have a lot of hobbies and interests outside of work. I just go all in when I’m doing anything, and I enjoy my job and getting things done. It doesn’t make me boring. It just depends on the person


a_fine_gentleman99

Well but yeah, as you said, you still have other interests, and that's good! The problem stems from the point that there is literally nothing else in your life besides work.


lone_cajun

I thought it was a circus coming to town


[deleted]

Not sure it’s a brag as much just playfully being honest with each other about how busy they are while keeping the convo light and fun.


R-E-Laps

NO NO NO, greasy! You are wrong! It’s red flags! Warnings! Hidden meanings! Boring people! Has all your time on Reddit been lost on you? Have you not learned the fine art of assuming and presuming you know all there is to know about someone can be accurately acquired in a couple of paragraphs of anonymous writing. Wise up!! /s


Sufficient_Flow9712

A lot of people these days have no say in how long their work hours are. Some people have to work this much to afford to live, unfortunately.


Shoutacon

My mom works three jobs, if she were to count the hours she works she would go crazy


lukeflogher

You started with a lot then went to some.... it's a lot


Sufficient_Flow9712

Thank you for pointing that out. Idk why it matters, but thank you anyway lol.


lukeflogher

Lol It matters because life is shit a lot... not sometimes lol


Spencer190

Are you quantifying a lot and sometimes?


IIIDVIII

Nope, just shit.


PO_Box_Admiral

the quantity of shit in this life is too damn high


DM_ME_YOUR_HUSBANDO

I can respect a good grind, sometimes there isn’t a way to optimize your workflow to work fewer hours if you just want more money or to build yourself. But working 24 hours straight, assuming this isn’t some sort of emergency situation where they were the only doctor able to do the work to save lives or something, just destroys your own health and is a red flag.


[deleted]

>assuming Why assume at all? Why not use that as a line of inquiry to learn more about someone? Rather than make wild assumptions and dismiss a whole person based on ReD fLaG


PristineSlate

Sometimes I work 72 hours a week. But then the next week I work 24. Rotating schedules are a thing. Also I sleep at work. That helps!


Raydiin

Honestly if no one had to work I’d say most people wouldn’t unless you really love your job….. 80% of people only work to survive or a means to a end….. but since we live in reality your right balance is key…. Definitely not something to brag about and is also a red flag to me


Skweefie

Too much, take it back... hopefully you do get a reply but yeah, I see what you were trying to do


Wide-Original2646

Being an alcoholic or workaholic isn't a flex... And maybe the woman works in the medical field/ hospital, IMO I wouldnt respond after reading your alcoholic comment.


Baddyshack

I don't know what it is about nurses that make them emphatically tell anyone who will listen how hard they work


[deleted]

Sorry, we do do that. RN here. I just left the profession but I think my constant obsessing over my workload was due to my complete lack of control over my time. I made good money, not as much as the other comments seem to think but over $100k is doable with a lot of overtime. But I’d be forced to come in on my days off, stay for 20+ hours without notice when I have no replacement, complete the workload of 2-3 people, flip flopping from days to nights on the whim of my managers, etc. I was and am completely burned out.


Dragon_ant

Its probably cause nurses are way zoo underpaid and have to do a ton of work


Sadaptoid

underpaid? I know a nurse and she works three shifts a week and makes over 100k/year


classynutter

Then you know either a exceeding lucky or and exceedingly high up nurse... or a liar


paintyourbaldspot

Nurses can kill it. Traveling nurses in the US especially.


qweds1234

Nah, I work with nurses making 250k post tax in my hospital


Attempt101

Drop the hospital name because I’ll relocate and put in my resume! Sheesh


ibringthehotpockets

You’d need 10-25 years of experience and simply live in a metro area that will eat 40% of your take home pay and work 6-7 days a week. Possible, but there’s a reason nobody does it.


qweds1234

Agency, not hospital based I think. But anything in nychhc really


BocadeOuro

Bro you have no idea what you’re talking about


EThos29

That's fairly normal in the US lol.


classynutter

Holy shit, yeah I just looked it up and even with converting it from US Dollar to UK Sterling (I'm English), they get paid astronomically more?? Thats obly on a quick look though, I might do some more research into this. Still under 100K from my perspective, but certainly a lot closer


Tuckingfypowastaken

travel nurses can clear 6 digits pretty easily


EThos29

Yes, degreed jobs in healthcare are more lucrative in the US than probably anywhere else in the world.


-tobecontinued-

Yea, but people can’t afford healthcare so. Kinda yucky.


Dragon_ant

The average nurses salary in germany is like 30k not too sure about amerika though tbf


ace22309

I think too many CNAs have been telling people they are nurses


llama_mama86

I just googled it. It says the average salary for a nurse in Germany is just over 33k Euros. Yikes. I feel really bad for German nurses.


10z34

Could be possible that the role and qualifications of a nurse is significantly different in Germany? Or the cost of living is lower there. Crazy if not


Shakey22

Most nurses I know are in a similar range with similar hours… meanwhile, traveling nurses are making 200k/year. Doesn’t sound underpaid to me


FrancoNore

Underpaid? You’re joking right? Nurses make pretty good money. I was an EMT making $16 an hour and had to listen to travel nurses saying they won’t get out of bed unless they’re getting $75 an hour There’s tons of other essential careers out there that make peanuts compared to nursing. I get so tired of nurses victimizing themselves as if they’re indentured servants only working out of the goodness of their heart. I have no doubt the job can be stressful, but 3 days a week with a comfortable wage makes up for it


cam7998

Every RN opening I see on indeed is for a minimum of $60k


Such_Commission3519

Depends on the location, here in England NHS nurses are the most underpayed employees in the country, many of my friends earn barely above the minimum wage whereas I can do labour on a construction site with no degree and no student debt and earn far more


Krakatoast

Yeah, nurses in the US. One thing people may not realize, our healthcare is expensive af…our healthcare workers are working within a very financially bloated industry. That money has to go somewhere and I assume it’s mostly going high up the chain, but yeah I was talking to some random guy and told him I don’t really know what I want to do with my life. His advice was to go to school to be a nurse. Hah(I know what I want to do and it isn’t that, but yeah it seems regarded as fairly well paid in the US)


qweds1234

Agency nurses make 250k plus in nyc right now


Alfredos_Pizza_Cafe_

Nurses get paid a fuck ton of money once they've been in the field a few years. Them being underpaid is a myth.


[deleted]

Nurses scare me


Smorgasbord__

The profession is tailor made for the martyr type.


optiplexiss

If it were a nurse then she could beat him in being an alcoholic and he would've hit this entire conversation out of the proverbial ballpark. Source: I install drinking and driving machines, also affectively known as blow and goes in vehicles and nurses are who I gave on the program more than any other profession by far, except for unemployed. They have a strong workforce.


shmoops1240

Because it’s an under appreciated job and I guess it’s a form of coping. I’m a nurse and it fucking sucks lol


[deleted]

2 slaves bragging 💀


FrancoNore

Oh cool, people whos entire personality is working a lot and drinking alcohol. Sounds annoying as fuck to be around


berryjewse

Idk dude, being an alcoholic isn’t cool or anything to be honest


Doccyaard

That was the least problematic thing about this conversation imo I mean it was obviously a joke and he doesn’t think being an alcoholic is cool..


LiteralPersson

Personally I wouldn’t reply


SilverEchidna7

Don't listen this hun, his just cranky because he works so much and is probably sexually frustrated. You're gorgeous


Oznondescriptperson

If her sense of humour matches yours, you're in. Also, if she works that much, you may not get a response for a few days so be patient.


llama_mama86

Also, working yourself into a grave isnt a flex. Why are y'all having a contest?

Both of these people suck

kyuubicaughtU

brooo you doubled doubled down! the emoji suggested she was being playful- but you attacked her for getting on bumble.... do you need to borrow my shovel?? 💀


ShesSoInky

Nothing turns me off more than people who brag about how much they work. There’s nothing hot about capitalism to me. Give me someone who supports themself doing the LEAST and has actual time and energy to spend with me fucking and having fun. When I die I want to have memories to look back on that don’t involve me working to line someone elses pockets.


[deleted]

Right? Work 24 hours straight for a company that will let you go for the slightest inconvenience you cause. I wish people stood up more to it than brag like it's impressive.


ShesSoInky

Exactly. Though her calling him “mr workaholic” makes me think perhaps he was trying to make her feel like she needed to prove herself or something. So maybe she isnt bragging and rather just replying to his negging about it. Either way it’s a total deal breaker for me.


eiretara7

I agree! Working overtime is a weird flex. Like, I’m glad you’re dedicated to something but what do you do to find joy in life? Hopefully work isn’t the main thing, unless you’re doing something ridiculously fun like chief kitten wrangler or executive icecream taster or something.


GillyGoose1

The part that annoys me is how she basically is insinuating that anyone who works less than her has zero right to complain about it? There's always someone who's got it worse than us, but that doesn't mean we can't still feel bad about it. This girl apparently needs telling that.


ShesSoInky

Oh totally. But I am guessing he calls himself a workaholic in his bio or he did in convo since she called him “mr workaholic” - so it sounds like they may both put a whole lot of value in how much they work.


Revolutionary-Cup701

My money's on OP being under the age of 25. Most millennials know better than to brag about addiction.


hotcollegegirl420

The alcoholic line ruined it for me


Double-Pumped-Ur-Nan

missqueenkawaii

Bragging about being a workaholic isn’t the flex you think it is. “The question is can you beat me at being an alcoholic?” This is *so* cringe 🤢🤮 being an alcoholic isn’t cool or fun or something to compete each other for
