> They just do a 9-5 I agree. How is working hours defined in your contract (9-5) nowadays considered coasting? And why couldn't I get promoted by not working overtime? That sounds unfair. When you sign a contract it doesn't say you need to work overtime and burn yourself out to get promoted. There has been a worrying trend in our industry I have observed when working normal hours is not considered enough anymore and unless you put in hours of overtime every week you are considered a slacker.
