It could also mean that your employer is having issues estimating the time/effort it takes to finish your tasks. Or that they aren't, and just don't care.

- muzani 7y agoI've seen it go bad both ways. Inexperienced leaders often pressure them to push their estimates down. Also working excess hours tends to screw with estimates as something in the head clicks that you can always work longer if the estimates are off. My estimates are strictly 40 hours/week, no more.
