      His work is THE HUSTLE and NETWORKING with the office manager about getting half-caff pods while she’s trying to go HOME to her CHILDREN heh while he’s grinding that INBOX ZERO productivity, carefully reading and NODDING INTENTLY - BROW STITCHED IN INTENSE CONCENTRATION as he scans every single business opportunity email and either archives (never delete a lead (NDaL life)) or replies to each one individually. Sleep or inbox zero? The choice is easy for the grinder

    I start work at 4 am. I do work 4a - 8p one day a week but some days I’m done by noon. Usually by 1:30pm. I’d love to show up at his office at 4:30 am and post, “where’s the hustle?”

    That office looks like a hotel lobby. Do people actually work on those couches and coffee tables? They’re probably leaving “early” to go see their chiropractor.

      yeah most coworking spaces have plenty of small personal offices. walk through those and you’ll probably at least one poor engineer working unpaid overtime

    Business owners be like:

    How dare these people not give me their labor for free. How greedy of them

    And not detect a single drop of irony

      I recently got scolded for saying we shouldn’t work nights and weekends for free at work. (Everyone is salary).

      The boss was telling me it demoralizes my coworkers to say that. And it “doesn’t hurt me if they decide to put in extra time”.

      The most naive theory of labor, or just lying?

    More hours weekly correlates extremely highly with a nation’s poverty index and unemployment.

    The only reason a business would want their workers to work more hours is because the management is lazy and cannot find additional staff to accomplish output goals.

    Europe is not behind. It is ahead.

    Hmm, do you know what I’m doing at 6:30? I’m hanging w/ my family, and then I’ll sometimes WFH on my personal projects. If you’re actually side-hustling or running your own business, long hours isn’t the solution IMO, instead break up those hours w/ other important things, and fit the work around that.

    That’s not an office. That’s a hotel lobby. I do not envy anyone who needs to work in this co-working space. It’s like someone took the idea of a loud distracting open concept office, and replaced all the functional furniture and equipment with cushions and wall art.

    Overtime work for your own company? If you want, sure. It all comes back to your pocket after all. You do you.

    Upset that your staff isn’t participating in your non-existent work/life balance? It’s only weird if they own an equal share of the business with you, or get (very) well compensated for the inconvenience.

    Publicly shaming your staff on LinkedIn for spending time with family? Get ready to lose your top performers.

    Working anti-cyclical in the shared office space is actually a good idea. Less distractions, better use of the heating.

    If you want to hustle, you can totally do shift work hours.

      This is an especially stupid post coming from a guy working in Germany. As far as I know, they see leaving work early as a good thing because you were so productive you didn’t need an entire day of work to complete your tasks
