Comedian David Boyle is back with another episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', and this time, he's reflecting on a gruelling 82-hour work week. Boyle takes you through the whirlwind of working long hours, battling sleep deprivation, and trying to maintain some semblance of sanity. He shares his disbelief at how some of his colleagues manage to sustain such a lifestyle for years, falling asleep as early as 7:30 p.m. and repeating the cycle day in and day out.
The episode is a mix of humour, frustration, and raw honesty as Boyle questions the meaning of it all while juggling work, family, and his podcast. He also touches on the financial aspect, discussing how the construction industry's wages compare to inflation and the role of unions in securing better pay.
You'll hear about his interactions with co-workers, including a 50-year-old man with pink hair who juggles multiple houses and girlfriends, and another who earns more pressing elevator buttons than he would in a traditional job. Boyle's reflections are both entertaining and thought-provoking, making you question the true cost of earning a living. Whether you're navigating your own work-life balance or just need a good laugh, this episode offers a candid look into the chaos of modern work life.
So, if you're ready for an honest, humorous take on surviving an insane work schedule, give this episode a listen.
