    the only people who want to put in longer hours at the office have absolutely nothing to go home to.

    they should be pitied instead of being vilified. drop them a “get well soon” message in social media should you encounter them.

      Some of us work our asses off because we’re passionate, but don’t pressure our coworkers to do the same… It’s a phase like most things are. If I ever get a management position in my current industry, I won’t expect after-hours responses/work…

      Usually they’re also the people who don’t do anything… I don’t know how many I’ve run into and ask what they’re working on, only for them to give me a “catching up on email or cleaning up” response. They’re just wasting time, hoping to look good.

    Sounds like a dude who works all day without accomplishing anything and doesn’t understand how people can get work done quickly by being good at it.

    Imagine not realizing that you have to take breaks to be productive. It’s better to go home and forget about what you were working on and come back the next day. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve struggled f with an issue and came back to it and figured it out right away.

      That is the key thing that is wrong with the whole “work ethic” rhetoric. Working longer hours is not good for productivity unless you have a job that basically has no quality metric attached to anything you produce and quantity is just measured in time worked.

    And instead of working himself he spents his so productive working time by writing linkedin posts.

    Odds on he went into the office at 18:30 to take a photo of how empty it was so he post on LinkedIn about what a grinder he is.
