"get the job done regardless of how much time it takes" Here's the problem. In my previous job as a programmer (video game development) we were given more work than was possible in the usual working hours. So we had to do work additional hours (unpaid) to catchup - which was pretty much constant throughout a project. This meant my employer was getting work done for free. Honestly the additional hours nearly made me quit full-time employment. I felt stressed all the time, and took it out on my friends and family. Never again. Now I work for the government and get full overtime pay. All is well :)
