It's going to vary significantly on an individual level as well. The best system would be where people opt-in to more hours but are evaluated solely on the quantity of quality output.

More hours will almost always look better to management regardless of output. Even if it was possible to evaluated solely on the quantity of quality output (we still have the socks vs creative problem) management will still tend to focus on "lost" productively. If person A is able to produce as much as person B but in half the time then management will tend to think person A should be able to product as twice as much in the same amount of time as person B! Person A isn't being a team player!
- hntrader 6y agoThis is why it's important to have good managers who deeply understand what their subordinates are doing. Detached managers can easily be gamed by maximizing metrics like hours-in-chair, which is pernicious because it makes people choose between making an impact and getting promoted.
