lol... return to office, so we can bitch about you leaving after working an entire day.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

I also prefer coming late and leaving late. After finishing my formal education nothing forces me into the rhythm of the morning larks anymore. I've been enjoying it quite a bit.

"Business angel" 🤮

$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.

You stay there and work, mr hustler, I have a life to live and enjoy

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.

Considering there’s laws in Germany that prevents you from working more than 8 hours a day

That's vastly more complicated, only mostly true and only true for employees, not self-employed people.

So he might not be full of shit in this regard, but he's clearly full of shitty-hustle-culture-nonsense!

It is not like Berlin is a cultural hotspot in EU and people have things to do in that city.

Oh wait, it is like that. It also applies to MOST of EU capitals. Weird.

Thing is, no one likes to work in a co-working space. Accelerators have these Hip Spaces which are sometimes used (for Meetings and Workshops) but that is just a perk. Main focus is to get multiplication and contacts. Additionally you can join multiple accelerators (as a startup).

I have rarely seen someone working in such a space and IF it was for a hackathon or due to a "last week crunsh before release".

Home Office .... they key words are home office and core hours (which are a 4H overlap for communication between early birds and night owls)...

There, you have it. That guy has no idea about processes and employee management. This guy is a one man clown show.

It's a tradeoff that hurts? Then go home you silly cunt

Desperately trying to justify wasting his life for nothing.

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

I understood that when once we decided to stay longer and worked for 12h one day, and then spent the next morning un-fucking what we screwed up during those extra hours.

Or when I spent an hour debugging something late in the day, only to come in the morning and find the problem in 15 mins. At least in software development, effectiveness dramatically drops when you're tired and it's really not worth it killing yourself to do something 2h faster.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

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.

I don't like his face.

Sounds like my man needs to get off LinkedIn. Who tf "loves to talk and post about the hustle" in real life ?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

All work no play makes Jack the only coworker not invited when everyone meets up for drinks.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

Actually, he seems to be a guy who's just gallivanting all over the world and posting about it on social media, while others are doing the hard work.

Then again, all I have to go by is his LinkedIn profile...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

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?"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Tell me again how hard you’re working while you piss around on social media all day.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Tell me again how hard you’re working when you’re a grown ass adult who needs to stay until 18:30 every day to accomplish anything competitive

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

Maybe they all leave as early as possible so as to not have to hang out with this dude.
