It's not just @GaryV, but the culture in workplaces everywhere in our country. People take a lot of pride in staying up all night to finish presentations, working 80-110 hour weeks etc. So if you're a person not doing this, you'll be labeled unambitious, lazy, somebody who likes to chill etc.
- Antoninus 8y agoIts an unfortunate symptom of whats its like to work in tech today. As an Engineer, twitter makes me feel guilty for not blogging, tweeting, attending meetups, learn new techniques after I clock out from my day job. Are people really working that hard?
- sxp62000 8y agoA lot of people around me pretend they are working hard. They either stick around at work till late (taking 6 hours to do the thing that should've taken 3), keep replying to emails from clients/bosses/"ambitious" coworkers no matter the time, and schedule pointless meetings and phone calls. It's all about optics. These people are also the ones who constantly complain about work and how stressful it is.
