Don't force your value system on others.
I personally am happiest when I'm working 70-80 hours a week and appreciate being compensated for my hard work. Just because that doesn't describe you doesn't mean I should be forced to attain an artificial "balance."

- mistermann 11y agoHis value system is consistent with the cultural norm (higher pay for longer harder work). In my opinion you shouldn't act like he is the one acting strange.
- ori_b 11y agoHe's not acting strangely, just irrationally. The two, unfortunately, are unrelated.

- icebraining 11y agoFirst, I'm not forcing anyone, my opinion is completely inconsequential to your professional life. Secondly, Ensorceled specifically said (s)he would start "enjoying the weekends", which implies the long hours were, unlike for you, not being particularly enjoyable.
