> The uncomfortable truth is that most people don’t give a shit. For example, it’s absolutely shocking that the common paradigm for engineers at Google is to come in at 11am and leave at 4pm. In no world can you be working 5 hours a day and be giving a shit, and so the conclusion is that very little meaningful work gets done at Google. Maybe a bit of a hyperbole, but not far from the truth. That culture is broken. This statement shows how anti-worker this guy is. Good on such a Googler. If you encounter a leader (like this guy) that thinks working hard for 8 hours a day is bare minimum (like this guy), do _not_ give them your labor if you can avoid it. You only have one life, so don't waste it making guys like this far richer than they would ever make you. I hope plenty of BigCo and startup (especially Scale) employees are shaving hours with no repercussions thanks to Covid remote work. Such a huge effective hourly wage bump, and the only things harmed are corporations and their leaders (abstractly and relatively.)
