"Hustle Culture Is Just Capitalism's Brainwashing"

Hustle culture is capitalism's brainwashing, turning overwork into virtue. A 2023 Bureau of Labor Statistics report showed salaried employees work 49 hours weekly on average, yet productivity per hour has stagnated since 2005. Unlike #5's unlimited PTO, which disguises benefit cuts, this ideology demands free labor under the guise of passion. Only 15% of workers have equity, so the rest gain nothing from extra effort. Gary Vee fans claim hard work built great companies, but the uncomfortable truth is hustle exploits those without ownership while enriching shareholders.
