This doesn't count. Working 20 hours a week but still having to sit an an office 40 hours a week makes me pretty much as horribly depressed as putting in 40 hours of effort at the same office.
- sokoloff 13y agoI hear ya, but if that's the situation you irretrievably (in your own mind) find yourself in, make the best of it. Put in your solid, no-BS 20 hours of honest work and then when you're exhausted mentally, fill the time with web browsing related to your job, and even personal errands (shopping, travel booking, the online portion of socializing, whatever). If you are genuinely good and the 20 hours represent genuine best-efforts, you're very unlikely to stand out negatively in terms of results produced. But, you probably aren't as stuck to a 40-hour ass-in-seat job as you think. Find remote work; become a freelancer. Some of those have a higher risk profile than sitting down and shutting up 40 hours a week as an employee. No one said life would be trivially easy, but for those of us that can write code, our lot in life is already 2 or 3 standard deviations above the mean, IMO.
