zxcvvcxz says: "Regarding friends/partners/etc. If the amount of hours you want to work isn't compatible with your partner's expectations... get a new partner. Seriously. Your priorities aren't aligned. I don't know what I'd do if my partner expected me to be home for dinner at 6pm on weeknights... Oh wait I do, I'd get a new partner, which I did. Now everyone involved (myself, previous partner, new partner) are very happy."
Man, I hope you develop some empathy before you end up directing others. I've worked for some of these automatons, and it results in a toxic environment with limited productivity. Far more gets done when your people are excited to be along for the ride.
- dmunoz 13y agoI found the same sentence strange. Is sacrifice no longer in the dictionary of reasonable action? Running around thinking you can mutually maximize "everyone involved" is a recipe for disaster.
- aNoob7000 13y agoI just commented on the same thing. This person is amazing. I can't imagine being his wife or kid. On the empathy front, I can't agree more. Who the hell would want to work for a person that can't sympathize with going home on time to be with family.
- aestra 13y agoAgreed. This person sounds like an egomaniac. http://healthland.time.com/2012/02/14/to-avoid-regret-put-romance-first-work-second/ http://healthland.time.com/2012/02/14/to-avoid-regret-put-ro...
