The simple solution - work two jobs. I don't care if you work 80 hours a week. I don't think it's healthy or sustainable, but maybe it is for you. And I certainly don't think your fatigued work it's as beneficial as putting in a good 40 hours. But feel free. There is no reason it has to be the same job. Make two sets of 9-5ers happy.
Meanwhile, if you set a standard that makes people expect your coworkers to work 60 hours a week, expect them not to like that.
- TameAntelope 5y agoSimpler solution: work with people who share my values. This isn't theoretical. I'm currently doing it, and it's immensely fun!
- HWR_14 5y agoOut of curiosity, I wonder about two personal questions. How old are you and how are you compensated for the extra hours? I'm not sure you're willing to share, but if you're working 60 hours you should have equity or extra pay.
- TameAntelope 5y agoI have equity, yes, and I'm not comfortable talking about my age but I will say my wife works harder than I do and we don't have any children.
- djrobstep 5y agoYou’re not comfortable talking about your age? Why not? Can you just give a broad range?
- HWR_14 5y agoHe's not comfortable divulging that. Let it go. I understood and expected he may not want to share either of the things he expected. Declining information about yourself online is reasonable and requires no further explain action. I mainly was curious if he was young enough he was burning himself out and the burn out hadn't caught up to him.
- djrobstep 5y agoSaying “I am under 30” for instance is hardly divulging anything that could possibly be sensitive.
- AstralStorm 5y agoHeck, putting in a best 20 hours is often better than standard 40h of which a lot is stalled or peak focus is out.
