> Less hours means less dedication in the eyes of management. In the eyes of bad management, yes. In the eyes of good management, quite the opposite. If you are spending more time working then what's expected to get your job done, my concern is what happens when you 1) leave or 2) burn out. I'd rather have you spend your time doing what your job and then relaxing and not burning out then burning out or leaving. Reliability is key here. This is also a problem if they leave, because it sets a false perception of what can be done in a normal work week. Not to mention the actual quality of the work long term. Basically, everything I've ever seen of excessive hours per week results in long term losses.
