I have a colleague who works 14 hour days.
This includes an hour nap in his car, lunch for 2 hours, and running errands/personal things outside the office for a few more hours.
If he sat down and worked straight, we figured he would only need to be in the office no more than 8 hours
- kelnos 7y agoSounds like he is working an 8-hour day, just during non-traditional times of the day. If that works for him and his family, and management isn't pissed off, sounds like a win-win. (Now if he claims he works 14-hour days, that's a bit dishonest.)
- sergers 7y agoYep claims he has to work till 8pm and work on weekends, but it's all due to his work habits of not doing work in a concistent manner
- EuroShill 7y agoYeah but butt in seat time is important! Once had a job where I was working 10am to 4pm with an hour lunch. Was fine for a long time until the company management became more OCD about their bean-counting and I got a new toxic "yes man/ass kisser to management" boss. Suddenly my work hours were an issue. They started hard enforcing a department-wide policy where if you weren't seen at your desk, you're assumed to be not working. Under the threat of being fired, I was forced to sit at work from 9am to 7pm. I suspect managers also had "monitors" assigned to keep a watch over employees like me and hours we were at our desks. It was a massive waste of my time as I was now spending a additional 20 hours a week at the office to do the same amount of work as before.
