I actually would have responded just for the "you should be able to do so in about one-third the time that most competent people think possible" part.
Note that it doesn't say work 3x longer. I measure time in hours not days, so finishing something 3x faster doesn't mean 120hour weeks, it means finishing something in 13 hours instead of 40.
- euccastro 19y agoWhat determines the meaning of that phrase is not how you measure time; it's how the employer measures time. And what ultimately matters to them is days. Hours only matter (and that, to some employers) inasmuch they affect your present or future productivity, measured in functionality/day.
- cstejerean 19y agoAn employer can certainly measure time in days, and sometimes demand/expect people to put in extra hours in order to make a deadline. But working extra hours doesn't make one more productive than average and no employer should measure productivity that way. If person A works 80 hours per week and gets as much done as person B that works 40 hours per week no employer will claim that A is as productive as B. On a side note, given that I do contract work currently you can be certain that both me and my employer measure time in hours not days.
