In addition to his top job and family, he also had a mistress, so he really knows something about effective time management.
Omg 😆 this made me laugh so hard, thanks
lol
* underrated comment 😂
I'm sure Jeff would also laugh at this.
@@joyandpeacefullaughter5307 I'm not sure about that. Probably his ex-wife laughed out loud when he explained to her that because of mistress he is more relaxed and efficient boss at work...
There is no work life balance at Amazon when you have to work for 80 hours a week.
work-life "harmony". note his careful wording of "harmony" over balance. his "harmony" includes peeing in bottles and driving to his side mistress.
I think Bezos is taking steps to fix that. He’s already championing $14/hour minimums
@Epic T one of my friend left amazon as business analyst and took 6 months vacation as he was burned out and had to rethink his decisions and now is working with Paypal basically in India, so yeah this company just sucks the last bit of peace from your life and now CEO comes and tags slavery as work life harmony
As much as Amazon is a shitty corporation no one has ever been forced to work 80 hours a week that's just them wanting to grind or whatever
I work 40 idk anyone who works 80 hours a week
After reading about his employees' working conditions, listening to this talk, honestly, is quite disgusting.
so which one is Jeff? damn they look almost the same
*not really.. if you didn't know thet from before then you wouldnt have a clue*
They’re brothers

The one wearing the jacket and answering the question.
The bald one
he should ask the workers at Amazon Fulfillment centers if they feel "energized" by their work. what self-congratulatory garbage.
Well said.
It's their choice to work in Fulfillment or do something more demanding.
@@Elizabeth-yg2mg what do you consider "more demanding"?
@@markdeutsch3591 Starting an Amazon or smaller sort of business; becoming a plumber or doctor.
@@Elizabeth-yg2mg “starting an amazon or smaller sort business.”
As a former manager for Amazon, I can tell you that starting a a smaller sort business or wannabe amazon will get you NOWHERE. Amazon and Ali Baba have a total hold on that business and market. You’ll get swallowed whole. Good luck with trying to compete or take any business from Amazon. Many tried all failed. Unless you have a serious system worth billions and a whole lot of brains and technology backing you up, you don’t stand a chance and more than likely your business will fail
Is peeing into the plastic bottle at work is included into the new "work-life harmony" term too?
Yes, yes it is
I can see why they wouldn't want drug addicts working around all those packages.
those are slaves, they dont count. he is talking to the upper class here, the "ones who matter"
@@stopstalkingyouspookybastard Exactly. 🤦
work life balance is like a 9-5 job term. Entrepreneurs just work all the time and do things at any time they need to it's not really structured.
💯
yeah, except you cant expect every single person is an entrepreneur
Entrepreneurs need workers to survive. Someone always needs to scrub the toilets
Nice statement, "If I am happy at home, it make me a better employee, a better boss" .
Seeing that his wife left him for a school teacher, I’m not sure If he was the one taking away energy or giving it lol.
Lol!
He gave it to the school teacher alright
@ETHD I know . I think you missed the joke
As an oligarchal vampire, I'm quite sure he does more taking. I heard the real reason his wife left him is because she got up from having sex to go get his lazy ass a glass of water & when she wasn't fast enough he yelled at her for too much TOT (Time off task).
He doesn't know female nature
Yeah, for so long, i still got stucked when being asked about work-life balance and I dont understand why people always try to find a clear line between work and life like dont bring work to home or sth like that but we're humans, not robots so it's hard to completely separate work and life. And that's why I love the term work-life harmony. Thank you.
but for me balance just means harmony anyways, not trying to separate exactly
I wonder how many of his employees on zero hour contracts have a good “work life harmony”
Delivery drivers Pissing into plastic bottles.. oh the harmony 🤣
Stop complaining, if you didn't like working there.... Then don't
@@victoriashop7074 you likely have never experienced having had a poor education and living on the poverty line. There are people who need that job regardless of how bad they're treated sometimes. It's fucked up that corporations get away with treating them this way.
Dumb comment.
@@The_Evening_Sun boo f* hoo. That comment was totally right.
Pretty funny hearing his advice now that he's divorced...
Why? They said they'd do their marriage again if they had to, it's just that their lives parted ways. At the time of his marriage, he could still have done a proper role.
God has a way of switching things as the author n finisher of our faith
@@larrydecript14 Lol why? If you’re in love..you’re life doesn’t just part ways 🤣. You’d do anything and go anywhere for that person. I’d sell Amazon if it meant losing my wife, but I guess that’s why I’d never become as “famous” and as “rich” as Jeff. Hard truth.
I can see why that advice may seem crazy to the person that has never found the “one”.
I don’t think there is a such thing as work life balance. It’s incredibly difficult to be superior in both home and work.
He was cheating w Lauren Sánchez
People get divorced all the time; so what?
Having to work 91hrs a week, that’s 13hrs a day, 7 days a week in Bowling Green KY. I have to say, I’ve quit my job. The money was good enough for me to quit and find something else, 51hrs of overtime does that. Don’t ever sacrifice your life for a corporation, if you have to work your ass off in order to catch up, do it, but then tone it down and enjoy. Money isn’t everything, but debt sucks, live debt free and be truly free.
Ya "work life harmony" works when ur business is established and don't need to stress about money but when you are getting started or worried about money to provide for your family it's about balance
The only time you will get a work life balance is when you do something that creates passive income.
@@danw1374 just made those steps today
It works for him because he is the boss.
You won't understand till you become a boss
Lol
@@raphaeligwilo9013 And where are you the boss? Night manager at Waffle House doesn't count. 🤡
people who are criticizing him for being divorced are missing the point, sometimes marriages don't work what, so what? the point he is making is basically if you want to work in high tech or other competitive industries, you have to work hard, there is no other way around. If you want to be extremely successful thats the way to go, if on the other hand, you are ok with being modestly successful but happier and with more leisure, then you don't have work that hard, which is a more sane position, but they are mutually exclusive specially for people who are trying to create a business from scratch. One is not necessarily better than the other but the question here is, which is more important , the extra achievement praise and luxuries brought by outstanding success or the free time / leisure that you have thanks to not pursuing a path like Bezos' ? it's a very personal and contextual decision to be made, it's up to you
don't forget, if you want to be extremely successful, you have to pee in bottles
Don’t ever work hard! Work smart, instead. That’s where the harmony starts.
Ok but the irony of him speaking of work life harmony when his company's policies don't allow for their employees to have a work life harmony is pretty fucked up.
"Robots have 100% work-life harmony. People should be more like robots." - Jeff Bezos, probably
I guess all he wants is his employees to think that work is life and life is work fueling his home and his life (best balance).
Hmm interesting perspective...he talks about people being out of work and having all the time in the world but many people probably work jobs requiring them to do stupid hours every week and become a corporate slave where they have to constantly prove themselves which after a while they feel like they need to escape because although pay is good they have no life whatsoever, and then quit.
Best Sales response there is. Work hard or find your passion elsewhere.
Interesting response in every positive and negative way possible...(enough said)
Oh you wanna talk about people feeling "energized" and "happy" at work..... my god how desensitized are you to how you treat your employees
Although they all have overcome a great many years of profound self-sacrifices, achieved incredible personal breakthrough progress in technology, wealth, power, and conventional fame to this date.
However, Mr. Jeff Bezos, many other great men, and the whole world continue neglecting and unable to identify some of the greatest, the most meaningful, and most needed projects to truly rescue and heal the many illnesses; desperately wounded bodies, souls, and broken spirits of the people throughout the land, not in space or Mars. *** Will the people are still alive and healthy when the heroes arrive?
Very best wishes always,

Amen!!🙏
If his employees had the same mentality, none of them would work for him
This guy barely knows about the stress of employees in amazon warehouse..
The thing about energy is true. Although not everything in your life will give you energy. Things will drain your energy, and that's okay, that's natural. And it's also okay if work drains your energy, as long as there is some energy left and you working enables you to do the things that you'd like to do + things that recharge your batteries. However, it could also be the other way around: Maybe work is giving you energy while home may drain energy because you have a 2 month old keeping you awake all night. Doesn't matter - as long as there as a balance between - yeah, balance, not harmony - of things that give you energy vs things that drain your energy, your able to move forward in life.
The question is "how do I get energy when work is draining?" :'D
Work - by definition - depletes energy.
Amusing that 100 hour work weeks are considered as 'maybe being too much'.
Very, very sickening.
@@PEACE-gc4ip Honestly I think working 8 hours a day is kinda too much. I cant imagine spending half of my life in the office or factory. Life wasted. Imagine all the possibilities and experiences in the life, what you can see, try, create, understand..
Don't trade your time for money. Instead work to create passive income or buy assets.
You can have an impactful career and a joyous personal life if you set your life and brain up effectively.
*or
If you are facing the question of work-life balance wherever you go, rather than answering on the stage, it's serious thing you must see inside the company. There must be some reason why CEOs of other similar companies don't face this question.
One thing said right by Jeff...Energy!!
Always be positive and spread positivity around you ✨ We all have come across those people, those who talk negative every time, no matter how good or bad the situation is, Try to find good in everything.

@@masterarthius8752 and also the creator of billionaires 😃
@@davecirlclux Show me one.

@@TheMV1992 yep
He is happy at work at the expense of abusing his employees. Bunch of BS comes of mouth once person has the money.
Let’s talk about the toxicity of Amazon!!!
I think when bottom employees work more than a person should work it’s probably easier for top people to ride on top
Speaking in favor of his company... not in favor of people...
Advice from Lex Luthor himself.
Work life harmony sound great!!!! : when u are getting good treatment at home, u get the clean house, food n pampering from wife n you are so pumped up to face the world with faith to move mountains n when u have a wife who will spend quality time praying n lifting up her man, nothing will God withhold from him n he will order his steps aright to be blessed n to be a blessing to his family for she will be seeing the results as the woman is the eyes for her husband n when they get together it is such a sweet thrill when they truly love each other n has the passion of love divinely connecting them.
100 hours of work 😂
Does he actually know the conditions of his warehouse employees!?
Correct me if im wrong. Amazon warehouse employees are the highest paid out of any warehouse workers no? Im genuinely asking because this is what i heard
He knows and doesn't care
@@goodday104 so you, instead, know ALL the conditions of ALL the warehouses all over the globe that HE DOES NOT seem to know. Right?
@@chodsterfam3418 not really. There are warehouses that pay quite higher with better benefits, secure stable and safer jobs.
@@chodsterfam3418 not true and even if it was, it would still not grant him the right to treat them the way he does
To him happy at home = his wife not complaining he’s not home.
I would rather not live at my job. Work is by far not the most important thing in my life. My wife and stepdaughter comes first. Towards the end of your life all that money you made isn't going to mean anything. Time spent with loved ones is the most important thing.
@@remopiccioni9456 may be he loved his job...
work/life harmony…Jeff, tell this to 70% employees who hate their job and ONLY do it for the money to pay bills…
Since you got the money say whatever the ... You want to. Period.
The irony of jeff bezos of all people talking about work life balance is not lost on me. Has he been watching monty python?
The interviewer looks like Tenzin from The Legend Of Korra lol
He’s Jeff’s brother
There is no work life balance, only work life choices and they have consequences
Great concept! Thanks for sharing, Jeff.
No problem bud
Welcome dude
Work life Harmony over Work life Balance
My follow up question.. what do you mean by energy?...
His ex wife MacKenzie Scott is a beautiful lady within the heart as well , in her philanthropic activities .I cannot imagine how this bald guy left her and the beautiful children at this age for another lady.
let me guess - you are woman
@@cernyjestrab7557 Bad Guess ,I am 100% male .I think women hate her and like Jeff .She is adorable women .
@@chockalingamalagappan1693 the way you wrote that and even "bald guy" that sounded like typical female. like she married him for looks. bruh
@@cernyjestrab7557Bro , Women don't marry for looks ,only for money.
@@chockalingamalagappan1693 thats what i sed
work life harmony ❤ is a cycle not a balance.
You regenerate energy at home not at work
When you truly are passionate about what you're working on you generate energy instead of spending energy; that's the point.
@@theboringprogrammer4444 If only everyone was that lucky. Plus had the comfortable knowledge of "If I feel too tired tomorrow, I can just call it quits and my personal finances will be fine". Jeff could on the spot decide to take year sabattical to recuperate, hire an interrim CEO to run the company and he would be fine.
They people who need work life balance enforced on the companies culture don't have the freedom to take year sabattical on the spot. They would be homeless and starving within couple months.
It is funnt he talks about the interns and the C level. The two places where the work life balance is least issue. C levels have enough money to just buy their way out of work life balance problems or just retire. Interns usually are young with no family and youth enthusiams.
The bit he doesn't talk about: The vast majority of the staff, the plain old line workers. Doing the job, because the job needs to be done and you get paid doing it. The people most in need of company (or regulation in company being unwilling) making sure work life balance is maintained by not working them crazy hours. There is a reason 8 hour work day was a fought for thing to point of strikes and getting beaten by police.
So yeah nice flip of him to go from work life balance to work life harmony. Your work energizes you. Packing Amazon shipping boxes for hours straight with no breaks is energizing and motivating? Really Jeff? you hear what you just said? While cold hard machine with a clock circuit and circuits goes "beep beep work harder, you are 1.5245325% behind the schedule.... Work harder beep beep."
Guess what you boss does not give a fuck about your life, goals, desires, and you as a human being. Your boss only sees you as a number on the financial statements. You have to bow your head and obey your boss (master) no whatever what or guess what you will get fired and someone else will do your job. The system is beyond fucked up and repair. The only way to have work life balance is if you are your own boss or have a boss that gives you a lot of flexibility.
A Billionaire lecturing people on the nonexistent work life balance...The laborers in his company literally pee in bottles because they can't take breaks...
Even though I hate his guts, he makes a lot of sense here. I think people in this comment section should learn to think for themselves instead of disregarding every single word that comes out of his mouth.
🟪 COLOR OF JEFF BEZOS 🙃🙂🤹♀️
Thank you somuch.
Where is the answer? Just trying to convince people that working 10 hours and commuting two hours would leave you with any energy to workout enjoy time with your family, sleep will, educate yourself, relax, and eventually will leave you with enough money to pay for all that. FYI Sweden lowered the working hours to 6 hours daily
00:46 - 1:23
Absolutely, he answered a lot…
Anybody ever hear someone say, "My life's work?" Most never go after what they're calling is that's the problem.
It's very understandable why he dislikes the phrase "work-life balance"; how else would he enslave and brainwash the morons working for him?! if everyone at his company works only 40 hours a week (or even worse, 36 hours, just like Europe) of course the employees are going to be a lot happier, but he would probably have 150 billions instead of 200 billions, and this is not good for him; I mean imagine how disastrous this is for him when he is 80! he'd be telling his great grand children that he only has 150 billion; it is devastating; so let everyone at Amazon work their ass off so Jeff can be truly proud at 80 (he would probably have a quarter trillion).
Why dont we have a competitor to amazon?
Thanks for sharing
Twin brothers 🤔
Musk Bezos and Nadella should understand we are not machines human being work life balance helps in getting good work more productivity if they want to live life like robots let them live they should Stop preaching about work life balance and this shows there mentality.
This man has a incredible amount of Honesty in him........
Dear Lord......you made Jeff Bezos a billionaire...make me one too....... sending Love and blessings to you all..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This aged well...
He wants whatever the f**k gives him the workers time and energy. He still won’t say that a person’s time without work and just family is important. He wants the home/family time to “give” for work.
Hello there! Nice video
they both have nice hair
Yeah must be real hard when you are the richest guy on earth and everyone works for you for minimum wage
You do amazon is like one of the best paying jobs if you have skill in other things I get paid 16 an hour .. barley just turned 18
Very good
I thinking amazon must open werhouse in china becouse this is Good for open this places in bussines
Jeff looks like a Sesame Street character
Thank you
He sounds like the turtle from finding nemo
I think I would be happy if I did what I wanted to do. Yes once I have had a hard day at work which love doing I would be deprived of energy but not sad or depressed.
quite the salesman
Bezos: “Work life balance? Is that a recent word? I can’t seem to find it in the dictionary. I can only find oppression and cruelty”.
I wonder if he ever read the book good to great?
I just finished it. What did you get out of reading it my friend?
I think I'm in love with Jeff Bevos 😍
you must be seeing $ signs
Jeff Bezos was in Star Trek Next Gen ssason 1 episode 17.. . check it out...
Thanks for the important thoughts!
I am working on my work - life balance.
Super, postępuj dalej wg wskazań człowieka, który ma gdzieś work life balance off the record.
i. think this guy already red all the David R Hawkins books
"Better husband" - sounds sarcastic )))
Such a vague answer for someone who gets asked the same question very often
says the dude with a castle full of concubines
This should be in the Business Bible
Work-life balance Vs. Work-life Harmony ... Well said
You guys forgot he got divorced? How'd that harmony work for him?
True
Thank you so much
Jeff real hero
love it

sounds like they don't value work life balance. basically work like a slave and if we are happy you will be happy because we will keep paying you.
Asking Jeff Bezos about work life balance is like asking Satan about sainthood 😅
Word. People hate him so much they miss the point. One gets to decide what they want from life- a very high profile job and success or a rich personal and social life. He is just talking about the former ones. If you want to be successful, you got to work hard at your job there are no two ways about it. If you are highly motivated for your career, you don't care about your leisure time because your work becomes your life.
Um, so in other words your work should get involved in your personal life and be all in your business of what you do at home?
