The worst is when you are trying to escape the hustle and changing your attitude to take it at your own pace at work but there is that one team member that buys into the hustle culture, sending emails at night, ticking things off their check list like their life depended on it, promoting the race to the bottom.
- JohnFen 3y agoWhy is the existence of that team member a problem? You don't have to read the emails until the start of the workday no matter when they send them.
- supriyo-biswas 3y agoBecause their “endeavor” becomes the benchmark for other employees to replicate, leading to a race to the bottom.
- newswasboring 3y agoThat sounds like a bad manager rather than a bad team mate.
- JohnFen 3y agoI guess that I'm weird. It never occurred to me to measure my performance in contrast to my coworkers!
- gilmore606 3y agoIt definitely occurs to your manager.
- JohnFen 3y agoMaybe. If so, it isn't something that matters to me, though. I'm not competing with my teammates.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoBecause management is going to use their "commitment" to try to make you feel bad for not working harder. (You don't have to accept the guilt package they try to drop on you, of course. But they may also tie things like raises and promotions to it, which is harder to ignore.)
- JohnFen 3y agoInteresting. In my several decades of working in this industry, I've very rarely seen anyone get meaningful raises anyway. You get a raise by taking a job at another company. But true, if you're worried about getting promotions, then that's an issue.
