I recently started turning up at around 10 and leaving at 4:45 and I get just as much done as when I was in the office 9-6.
I've also started giving more fucks about work, which is amusing as I started showing up late and leaving early due to my lack of fucks.
So in my unsanctioned (and I'm sure time limited once someone complains) experiment with a sample size of one I can say shorter days definitely keep me more engaged and don't seem to slow down my work.
- war1025 8y agoThis has been my standard work day for ~4 years. I've found people don't complain as long as you get things done.
- osrec 8y agoIf you work in a large corporate, people will complain, especially if you get this done. It sorta highlights the inefficiencies of the punctual, yet less productive employees, and they don't like it.
- throwaway123032 8y agoWell make that two. When I got almost fired in one job, my consultancy firm asked me to return to the same client, same team, same job but in another program, I clocked the least (not giving a fuck), but I was the most productive (giving a fuck, does it make sense?:D ) and basically the program director was basing all decision on my feedbacks. It drove the previous team mad, and current one a bit speechless :D
- anitil 8y agoJust a quick warning - I've heard plenty of people complain that once they ran out of their allotted fucks at work, they ended up getting promoted. Apparently speaking your mind does that sometimes. So beware.
