"You can't do genius level work 40 hours a week for 52 weeks and not burn out." Sometimes you can't do 20 hours a week, or even 10. A lot depends on the person, what their emotional state is, whether the work is stressful or not, how they deal with stress, how their coworkers, bosses, and customers behave, etc. Sadly, most companies still treat their employees like robots, and expect them to put work first ahead of all other priorities (above physical and mental health, above sleep, above family, above having any sort of life outside of work). Very sad, and there's really no indication that things are changing for the better for workers. In fact, with all the outsourcing, "free trade" agreements, and rabid opposition to unions in the tech sector, it's become a race to the bottom. |
