    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.

      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.

        “Catching up on emails” is something you must do and can take a lot of time depending on your role and circumstances, though. My interepretation of this answer would depend on if the answer is for “what I’m doing right now” or “what I’ve been working on today”.

      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…

    My office is a ghost town by the time I leave at 5. That’s how I know I’ve found a good place to work. (Also don’t have to be in the office every day)

    I only stay that “late” because I get there later than almost everybody else.

    $100 says he left immediately after taking these photos. Dr.Hustler PhD here is using precious company time to write a chapter’s worth of bullshit. Get back on that horse, it’s time to work.

    Edit: I finally get it! This must have been what Rage Against the Machine meant when they said, “Can’t waste the day when the night brings a Hurst.” Still not sure how, “Rollin’ down Rodeo with a shotgun,” fits in this pro corpo anthem but maybe I’m just not a hard enough worker to get it. Bad tradeoff indeed.

      He probably only arrived at 12:00 and is complaining about everyone that has a live besides work (children, hobbies, volunteer jobs etc) and arrive early.

      Considering there’s laws in Germany that prevents you from working more than 8 hours a day, hes either in violation of those laws or full of shit.

    Having worked in various countries of Europe with various different work cultures, I can guarantee you that at least in Software Development the productivity of working more than 8h a day regularly (you can get away with doing it for a week or two, but no further) is so much less than in with 8h/day or less, that you’re literally producing less results with your work in a whole long-hours day of work than you do in an 8h day.

    In simple terms, tired people do negative work and people working long hours regularly end up chronically tired.

    Maybe it works differently for people doing stuff that’s all about salesmanship (like Business Angel) for whom more hours means more “meets”, but in my personal experience it definitelly works as I described for people actually doing heavy thinking work that has to actually work rather than merelly doing talkie-talkie with hard to compare results and where efficiency is near impossible to measure.

      I work in IT support, which is basically the next pond over from development. Because the job is so mentally intensive, if I’m working on complex tasks for more than 4-5 hours, my brain is catatonic by the time I hit the end of my shift.

      Mental effort, is still effort. Most of the time you can’t see that someone is mentally tired, but it is just as debilitating as being physically exhausted.

      I can not do my job while mentally exhausted. One screw up from me, and I have the ability to, entirely by accident, take out an entire organizations ability to do useful work.

      Some of my clients, I’ve seen log into the system at 8AM or earlier, and still be online after midnight. I don’t understand how they’re getting anything useful done by that time.

    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.

      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

    Prosperity comes from inherited wealth.

    People who work from a co-working space usually are in no place to lecture others about prosperity.

    If you brag about how late you work in the evening, at least tell us when you start in the morning.

      That would be a great reply:

      “What time did you get in? I didn’t see you at all for the 13 hours I was there. Did you just show up to take a picture?”

        Their golf is “business networking” and counts as work. Your bar time with coworkers and other business associates is goofing off.

        Some of us are nocturnal. His issue is that he thinks that anyone can stay productive for more than about 4 hours a day. That’s just an unrealistic expectation created by bullshit jobs that we can autopilot through for 8 hours a day because the dictators up top decided that was the best decision.

          True. If you start in the evening that’s fair. I’ve lived like that before accepting that I’m cursed to the diurnal life by my nature. At that time I did the whole 18 hour days thing. I didn’t do by best work back then and it was killing me, and I grew out of it after college.

    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.

      I mean does anybody other than blowhards full of nothing but air use or care a out LinkedIn? The last job they tried to push on me was working in a local five and dime in the city centre mall. Not disrespectinf the fine people who work there, but how do my master in thermodynamics and 20 years of experience with explosives fit in there?
