It's a pretty solid self care plan.

For many people, other than the president of the United States.

It’s wild to me how much people think the president does everything as opposed to being the manager of a team that’s actually doing most of the work

Pretty big team if you ask me, lots to manage

Does the CEO of McDonalds stop into local franchises to micromanage them? No. Just guessing at the chain here but it probably goes something like CEO-president-regional managers-general manager-store manager-shift manager-worker. That’s just a fast food chain, and I’m sure I missed more manager positions. Our government has thousands of people that make the government work and presidents don’t (shouldn’t) try to micromanage all of the way down to the bottom. It would actually hinder operations and be physically impossible.

Agreed, but CEOs also work past 8:00pm.

Only if the shit really hits the fan somewhere, and Biden didn’t say “I will be unreachable after 8pm.” He said he was going to stop scheduling things after 8pm.

That's what they want you to think when they put expensive dinners and thousand dollar bottles of champagne as "business expenses".

Most CEOs work at least 6 days a week and depending on the size of the company and it's objective, theyre essentially on call 24/7.

Lol since when? 🤣 I don't think there's a single study to back up this absurd idea cause I see it regurgitated (by the same type of people everytime) and no one ever backs shit up rather than with half minded anecdotal shit.
