Exercise 2: The CEO as a Triumphant Aristocrat

Meet the CEO, the self-proclaimed "Lord of the Boardroom," who claims to be "slumming it" with a 100-hour work week, despite having a private jet for their "research" trips.

According to sources close to the CEO, their "tremendous" workload consists of:

  1. Having their assistant order takeout for them
  2. Playing golf
  3. Reading 10-page reports on "synergy" and "disruption"
  4. Deciding which tie to wear to the next board meeting

But wait, it gets better! The CEO also has a "visionary" plan to "disrupt" the industry by introducing a new, "groundbreaking" product: a toaster that prints cat pictures!

Stay tuned for the next installment of "Debunking Burnout Theories," where we'll expose the CEO's "secret" to success: a 3 a.m. coffee IV drip.
