side note: reminded me why I hate office hours, being "forced" (i'm sure you don't literally force them out of the office) would drive me nuts. I find i'm really productive crazy hours. hence why i'm sat in the office at 6PM on a saturday night. on hacker news. i digress.
Asana is a pre-launch VC funded startup: I'd expect they'll trust the employees to work till they feel they're done for the day.
Seems like a killer company to work at. Amazing team. Best VCs in the business. Everyone that is anyone as an advisor. Etc.
- pxlpshr 17y agoI actually do force them out of the office around 6-7pm because the office is my apartment and I live with my girlfriend who gets home around that time. (that doesn't mean work has to stop if they want to continue when they get home)... I agree with you in principle, once we get office space everyone will have a key and the schedule will be a little more flexible. I do think there is something to be said for balance however. Working 12 hours one day and only 4 the next because you're burned isn't necessarily more or less productive. The issue I have with this is that it hinges on the assumption that you can operate as a lone-wolf, and often that's just not the case... mobile, web, and product (design) are working together in unison a majority of the time. We don't have the benefit of overlap right now. There's just three of us and were just getting started so there's a lot more collaboration at this junction.
- breck 17y agoI actually like being forced (or forcing myself) to stop working. I've never regretted stopping work to go hang out with family or friends. I have regretted missing some fun life things because something had to be done. Almost always it turns out what I was working on could have easily waited.
