We have the unlimited PTO as well, so maybe it is that kind of company. I admit that it might just work well for me as I don't actually need work life balance

I admit that it might just work well for me as I don't actually need work life balance or really use the time off. What I mean is that I have never experienced any pressure to work beyond regular hours. I am not sure that the weekend/2AM logins/commits are supported. I have never heard much comment on them at all really.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoMy goal is not to rain on your parade, nor to take from your passion, but to communicate to be mindful of the signals work behavior emits to those you collaborate with.
- MattGaiser 6y agoI agree. Your comment is quite valuable in that respect.
- bob1029 6y agoI do not agree with all of your points but I certainly agree with this one. Setting the example for the rest of the team when you are explicitly/implicitly recognized as the leader is very important. I had to learn this lesson recently. For example, I signaled to the team last Friday that I was not going to be working at all this weekend. Checked my email just now and neither did anyone else. If I put something up for code review on Saturday afternoon, someone else on the team is likely to pop in for review and then likely do some work tasks themselves. Its not that this is bad, but you have to be aware that it is happening and moderate it accordingly.
