It’s Monday.
The start of the week.
A week full of hope, promises and potential.
Oh who am I kidding? It’s Monday. Fucking Monday.
Now at this point, maybe you expect me to sweep in and add some colour to your grey day. Some optimism to your 8 hours of impending misery? Well if you do you obviously haven’t been reading this blog very long because in reality, I’m going to double down on the misery.
Here is a website.
Click on it.
Go on. I promise it won’t take you to anywhere embarrassing. Oh no, it will just take you to somewhere humiliating.
I don’t mean weird pictures or embarrassing photos – oh no – I mean something much worse.
Your salary!
OK, not literally yours – but it’s a website that shows you how quickly certain CEO’s take to earn your salary. Your annual salary.
And while I get that people like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos would take an embarrassingly small amount of time to do it – in many cases, seconds rather than days or weeks or months – when it takes an equally small amount of time for the CEO of LinkedIn, that’s why your Monday will hurt with the sort of ferocity that you last felt when you had to go back to school after summer holidays.
With that and the news that the best Prime Minister in the World, New Zealand’s Jacinda Arden, has only just turned 40 … you can look at yourself in the mirror and feel really good about yourself.
Hey, it could be worse, you could be unemployed and 50.
You’re welcome.

I can imagine your evil smile as you posted this. Having the linkedin CEO on the rich list makes it worse because he is responsible for the most pointless place on the web. Thanks for ending my weekend on a low again Rob.

Comment by Bazza August 31, 2020 @ 7:55 amStupidity.
Comment by DH August 31, 2020 @ 8:16 amfucking vampire.
Comment by andy@cynic August 31, 2020 @ 1:26 pmIf it’s any consolation, I don’t have any official regular salary so everyone can earn my annual salary in the blink of an eye.
Comment by Rob August 31, 2020 @ 8:19 amBut yes. I did. Ha.
Comment by Rob August 31, 2020 @ 8:19 amPretty sure your unofficial regular salary is an amount of cash most would dream about.

Comment by Pete August 31, 2020 @ 8:50 amthe poorest thing about campbell is his fucking spelling.
Comment by andy@cynic August 31, 2020 @ 1:28 pmAnother reason not to get out of bed in the morning. Thanks Rob.
Comment by DH August 31, 2020 @ 7:47 amYou’re welcome.
Comment by Rob August 31, 2020 @ 8:20 amIf this wasn’t depressing enough already, I’ve just worked out it takes LinkedIn’s CEO less than 8 days to earn the NZ PM’s annual salary. The best PM in the world right now.
Comment by George August 31, 2020 @ 7:59 amYes she is. That’s utterly depressing … especially as she achieves more things in a day than I’d imagine the LinkedIn CEO does in a year.
Comment by Rob August 31, 2020 @ 8:21 amThere’s a lot of CEO’s on that list that appear to have done little more than appeal to the analysts.
Comment by Pete August 31, 2020 @ 8:49 amI wonder what that site does with all the salary data it’s gettiing.
Comment by John August 31, 2020 @ 9:43 amProbably negotiate an even higher salary for the CEO’s mentioned.
Comment by Rob August 31, 2020 @ 10:00 ammost of them are beige cunts, living in mcmansions and thinking theyre shit hot but work at bullshitlinkedin. money might buy you a lot of shit but no one wants what most of those wankers are selling.

Comment by Pete August 31, 2020 @ 2:06 pmI’ve spent all morning on this pay comparison site, comparing how long it would take my debts to be paid off by a range of CEO’s. It wasn’t pleasant reading.
Comment by George August 31, 2020 @ 4:26 pmnice pad i basically fucking bought you campbell.
