I've never liked this expectation. To me a lot of overtime is a sign of bad management.
It also burns out employees a lot faster. There are times where overtime is needed(if you're on-call, or around a release occasionally) but it should always be repaid in lieu time or a bonus.
If you're putting in 60-80 hours a week standard you're probably so tired and miserable most of the time that you're not going to be performing at your peak anyhow.
- Dylanlacey 16y agoIt's not bad management, it's GREAT management. From the perspective that management is about getting as much from your people as possible.
- sanswork 16y agoBurned out employees cost a lot of money to replace and a team that is working that much overtime is almost certainly not working at their peak for even half of it. I would argue they would probably only be at their peak for the first day of the week and maybe even only part of that the rest of their time spent coasting at below peak to way below peak is not really adding value.
