Is this satire? If not I don't think that's a sustainable lifestyle.

You've never met a workaholic... it's sustainable for quite a while, for some.

Much as many people here have a deep abiding dislike for executives, that's probably a pretty typical lifestyle for successful executives at a large company (or a startup) to which you can probably add months of every year on the road.

I know enough people in real life who are doing that regularly to know that isn't satire.

Some of them never seem to get much accomplished, though, so I've often wondered if there is something else at play.

I encourage you to visit Japan. With enough alcohol and caffeine, you would be astounded what the human body can sustain.

The people two rungs up the ladder from me in my consulting job work like this, if not more so.

They all have families and are PTA presidents and things so def not absentee parents or spouses. Some people just have a seemingly unending source of energy and ambition.

No, I'm sorry that's just not possible. I think they've done an excellent job tricking you and others into their ever present productivity.
