        Learning what an angel investor is hasn’t really changed my opinion on this guy. My opinion of him as an angel may have changed if the post were closer to “go home at noon today, we’ve got enough done and you deserve a break.” Instead his attitude is "stay later, work harder, and get that sweet sweet return of investment.

    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”.

    Imagine not realizing that you have to take breaks to be productive. It’s better to go home and forget about what you were working on and come back the next day. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve struggled f with an issue and came back to it and figured it out right away.

      That is the key thing that is wrong with the whole “work ethic” rhetoric. Working longer hours is not good for productivity unless you have a job that basically has no quality metric attached to anything you produce and quantity is just measured in time worked.

      Chances are many are still working. They’re combining eating with socialising with peers in the hundreds of bars and restaurants and discussing many things, including work related stuff… which is a lot healthier than always eating alone at your desk.

    Prosperity comes from inherited wealth.

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

    The other day I was driving on the Autobahn at 3:30am and there were literally no cars around me. These Germans always go on and on about how the Autobahn is so fucking great, but then they are not using it?

        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.

        Outlook will display the time “sent” as the time you hit send. Then they receive it at the scheduled time, and will be marked as the “received” time. Two different time stamps.

            What even is the point

            Scheduling correspondence generally falls into one of a couple categories:

            1. This message contains information you don’t want them to have until after an event. Raises, Layoffs, Reorgs
            2. It’s 2am and you don’t want to bother them at this hour. (more important for Slack)
            3. They’re not in our timezone and you want it to hit the box when they’re fresh to work on it. You don’t want them to start a sprawling project at 4:30 on a Friday.
            4. It’s the weekend and there’s no reason for them to worry about it until Monday.

    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 don’t own an equal share of the business with you, or are not well compensated for the inconvenience.

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


    Edit: another lemming pointed out this is a co-working space. In which case, the above doesn’t directly apply to the guy in OP’s post, but is a familiar story nonetheless.
