We're all quite familiar with the idea that working long hours gets you brownie points with your managers. The point that's being made here is that companies should not be so proud of this quid pro quo, because on paper it is quite literally a devaluation of your time.
You feeling you need to work excessive hours to progress in your career does not make anything about it right, quite the opposite actually.
- jnordwick 9y agoYour excessive is my right amount. There are things that need to be done and just hiring nor people doesn't work. Peopleb aren't commodities - some things only I can do at a certain level much because I might have put myself into that place by learning all the prices of the puzzle. I don't like the judgmental attitude against those of us who decide to make different judgement calls in life.
- s73ver_ 9y ago"Your excessive is my right amount. There are things that need to be done and just hiring nor people doesn't work." That's a complete lie. "I don't like the judgmental attitude against those of us who decide to make different judgement calls in life." Because it's not just your judgement call. By you doing that, now the expectation is on everyone else. Especially because you set the bar by working for less pay, dragging everyone else down.
- jnordwick 9y agoLol. I definitely pull the pay scale up but I also do increase expectations. And you think that is a bad thing?
- s73ver_ 9y agoBut you're not pulling the pay scale up. You're lowering the hourly rate, and setting the expectation that others not have a life outside of work. That is a bad thing.
