I can understand that some people (particularly extroverts who want some time to socialize and mingle) might like this lifestyle a lot, and once in a while yeah you can use a break of course, but personally speaking I'd rather work hard straight through the day and have a larger uninterrupted block of time available in the evening for my own activities outside of the work environment.
- dbg31415 5y agoEh, you do you. But I'm guessing this is perceived as anti-social behavior and will hurt your career a bit. It's always good to build relationships. Results matter, but promotions always tend to go to friends. And the connections you make at one job will continue to pay off long after you cash the final paycheck from that company. Hard to think of any job where being social with your coworkers isn't the right play. Think of it like contributing to your 401k, or going to the gym. Putting in time to build out your network will make life easier down the road.
- spiffytech 5y agoI agree. If I don't get that uninterrupted time after work where I can really switch gears or do some longer activity, it starts to feel like work is eating up my whole life.
