While I try not to work overtime, especially anything excessive like 80 hours, I do enjoy parts of my job and I get paid to do it. It's a bonus to me that what I work on isn't actively destroying to world or completely useless.
Have to agree here, I do enjoy my job and it has a real impact on thousands or even millions of people. Doesn't hurt that I get paid well and my boss and team are amazing.
But yeah, I do have the occasional "overtime" (I'm salaried) but it's always compensated by extra time off.
I'm in the same boat. Hell, sometimes I can even get into the groove on something useless. It's more for me though, not for my employer. Wouldn't the "grindset" people say the same though?
