Do you try to stop people from working second jobs or too many side projects?
This is the big issue for me. I'd like to make 30 hour week standard - but I'd probably just spend 10-20 hours on side projects, still spending 40-50 hours a week total.
I'd prefer that obviously, but I can't say my employer would be better off.

- franciscop 10y agoNever saw it from that point of view, but that is totally true.
- jtrtoo 10y agoAre you sure they wouldn't be? If you're a knowledge worker, your value is in your brain. If it makes you happier on the job, lowers turnover, and helps keep you refreshed ...side project away!
- bcrescimanno 10y agoNo. Sustainable pace is important; respecting people's right to be who they are is more important. Here's my thing: if my management team and I are paying attention, we'll see people's performance suffering if they were to be overworking themselves outside of our work.
