My second favorite thing about this fact is it reliably brings out the troglodytes to gripe about the differences between different companies/countries/privileged life/careers.
While completely and utterly missing the point - that this works as a rapid estimate to roughly convert between hourly & salaried. It does not pretend to be accurate for all cases. It’s just a quick estimate that works for most people working full time positions. It’s meant for conversational use, not filing taxes.
Sure, for people who work 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year. Ugh that sounds exhausting.
