A Twitter user @nearcyan has recently shared an interesting story about his dinner with two Google employees.
The Twitter handle @nearcyan has shared a tweet saying, “had dinner with two Google employees and they got into a bragging competition about who works fewer hours, the guy @ 2 hrs/day for 500k tc won.”
“Man is truly living the life it’s like a retirement home except for your 20s and 30s. ok after seeing the apartment of the victor I have determined that he is, in fact, not living the life at all it is unlikely he will be able to procure a mate with his current circumstances regardless of his lavish compensation”, the tweet added.
“wow I wish I could make 500k/yr” No you don’t understand, he lives in California near San Francisco it is not real money”, the tweet said.
“also time this doesn’t apply to Gemini, so I will continue to remain terrified that Google has a real chance of winning the AI race”, the tweet added.
“journalists dming me asking for ‘the scoop’ This tweet is the scoop, it has been the scoop for years it is unlikely to change even after this triggers yet another meeting over the topic too there are no good substitutes for employees not actually loving their company’s mission”, the tweet concluded.
Elon Musk has expressed his amazement with a “much wow”.

Some people were not very impressed with the fewer working hours.
One user said, “Did they mean they’re only available for two hours each day or that they’re actually performing tasks for two hours during a typical workday? There’s a big difference between the two.”
“Most software jobs are two hours per day. We can’t concentrate for more than 2 hrs. The rest is just emails and meetings. Even if present at the office”, another user said.
