Young, brilliant programmers but still totally dependent on the approval of their peers - to the degree that they not only work very late to get food, they stay even longer to avoid someone judging them.
I bet they even make excuses before leaving at 8 pm... Its really very sad that smart human beings act like that due purely to social pressure.
- lawlorino 8y agoSo is this something you've experienced personally, or is it just speculation?
- GhostVII 8y agoThe last couple companies I worked at offered a dinner at ~8:00. There was no pressure to attend and as far as I know hardly anyone did.
- abhorrence 8y agoI've worked for a company that offered dinner significantly before 8pm. The number of employees actually staying that late, or eating dinner was not particularly high. Primarily it was the people who didn't show up until quite late in the morning, or sometimes not until early afternoon.
