I’ll refrain
Asking me this question is like asking SRK if one should sleep less or not

It’s a hot potato. But I see where he’s coming from.
Just that all workplaces aren’t the same. And there’s a lot of folks who end up working long hours at the cost of their health, relationships or just mental peace — without an obvious upside.
So I get the reaction.
I used to work insane hours building my company.
But.. I also used to take a % of projects closed by me as a yearly bonus. Quite directly converting hours to $$$.
Also, I was young, stupid, and cocky.
I routinely overestimated my skills, under estimated the complexity and my mouth committed timelines my ass couldn’t cash.
❤️
Used to pick up fixed budget complicated projects. Because it was easier to get ahead of other shops that way.
Moved to hourly billing after a year or so. But I digress.

I still feel people should learn or atleast do something other than their main profession in their lives. Could be anything fitness, photography, content creation xyz
But this is a subjective opinion. Applicable to me only

I also, was an immigrant. My “life” didn’t fit outside 9-5. I’d go home to who?
Girlfriend in another continent. Parents in another state. Best friends were working with me at my company.
I envied them for years. Before I got as good as them.

My idea of life was working my ass off, so that then I could take a few weeks off, after a project was closed, do my bike trips or go visit parents or my girlfriend.

Cool man. Whatever suits you, eventually we learn , unlearn and adjust

For my team it’s do as I say, (do good work, and take care of yourself, I won’t force anything) not as I do <end of thoughts>
:P

Whatever makes life worth living for them. These things do help :]
“Honest Work” over “Hard Work”, is what I’d suggest Hardik titled it

Agreed

But twitter is a place where you tweet something controversial then clear out the context, have seen the pattern too many times. Rest i feel a healthy argument is good and not taking out persons grudges in comments

I don’t think a weekday 9-5 job is taking anyone anywhere.
If someone is looking for that, then why not. But really not opening up doors for anyone to create a difference.

Twitter doesn’t behave like that anymore. Been trying to study why, for Openvy purposes

He must’ve built a workplace which lets people choose, and rewards outcomes over hours put in.
Who knows. I always assume the best intentions. But yeah most people on Twitter assume the worst.

Was thinking about it and I think we could apply Price’s Law on how most people like to ‘work’

I feel it’s not a discussion of individual actions. We already live in a culture where the general expectation is to go above and beyond.
The only factor that makes overworking a choice or not is individual privilege (If you can afford to lose a job, have access to opportunities to get another one etc etc then.)
And companies demanding this is exploitation.

If I am passionate about something then I mostly lose track of time and won't mind working a little bit more for it
But yeah this behavior makes me lose on some other things that I could focus on
Twitter without the FOMO problems. WhatsApp without the lack of threading.
