Why level down? Thinking that working less than 40hs = being royal is that terrible work culture Americans have to make themselves feel better about not being effective and efficient. Some think that being in an office longer equals putting out more product when in reality they are just farting around the office wasting time and keeping everyone else hostage of their poor time management. If I get my project done in 30hs and want to go home, am I royal? Just work harder, smarter, not longer.
