> (works after hours, weekends, during vacations) I was working for a company and employees there were working for long hours and weekends. Managers too were doing the same. It was sort of a badge of honour that an employee is working beyond the office hours and also on weekends. It was the culture of the company. Then one day the managers were sent to a workshop on how to identify talent, increase productivity and build a more happy culture. When they came back from the workshop, a strict dictat was passed that no one will be in the office for more than 8 hours and no work on weekends. So one day I asked one of the managers, why the sudden change? what has changed? And he replied, in the workshop they attended the speakers there said, if an employee is working long hours and working on weekends then either the employee is incompetent, has no ability to delegate or the company has serious problem of allocating tasks to people so that one person is not overloaded with work. This amounts to burnout, sets wrong example to other employees and overtime decreases productivity. All this is not good for the company and the employees. So, this comparison of 10x with "works after hours, weekends, during vacations" is wrong on so many levels.
