‘Working so hard, it gets in the way of their personal life and wellbeing.

“I missed my kid’s graduation, I was too busy finishing a report.”

“I’ve been so busy, I haven’t slept in 3 days.”

“I start so early and leave so late, I haven’t felt direct sunlight in months.”

‘None of it makes me think “Wow, you’re such a dedicated worker!”. It makes me think “You’re a tool, with terrible time management, sacrificing your life for a company that doesn’t care about you”.

‘From a managerial standpoint, I think more highly of workers who can get their work done in 8 hours, 5 days a week. That says ‘efficient’. The ones who worked themselves to the ground quickly reach a point where their per-hour work yield plummets, and the work they are “accomplishing” isn’t done right because they’re such a mess.’
