No, Googlers I know def don’t work 80 hours…
- onion2k 5y agoI've only heard about it from ex-Googlers so perhaps it's different now. 20% time was introduced a long time ago (before Google went public?) and 80 hour weeks were a lot more common back then...
- xvector 5y agoSome Googlers I know barely work 20 hours! Anyone have tips for finding a chill team at Google? Passed all interview rounds last time but decided to join another company. Might give it another go if I can get one of those <20hr gigs...
- zdkl 5y agoStep 1: don't post on HN about how you want to minimise your work-time I guess?
- zerr 5y agoThe whole HN is dedicated to minimizing work-times actually.
- xvector 5y agoHey, I do good work even if I work less time! 40hr workweek is kind of pointless anyways. The last 20hrs have maybe a 20% return, and I work quickly anyways. I also skip BS meetings. My managers have always respected me despite me working obviously fewer hours. Quality of work + meeting your goals > some meaningless metric.

- JaggerJo 5y agocan confirm. We built a potato canon last month.
