    It’s also full of boot lickers. Had people on my team that were like “oh I’ll just work this weekend to make the deadline” and I’m like why. They made the deadline even though we told them it was too aggressive. You don’t get paid more for hitting it or for putting more hours in. Stop enabling them and devaluing labor.

      Ugh god don’t get me started on that, it’s literally ingrained in the work cutlure that getting the work done is more important than following the labor laws. I have gotten in trouble for not attending “”“optional”" meetings out of work hours.

        Everyone bends and breaks the law in the employer’s favor but the minute you don’t it’s considered a personal insult to your boss.

      they have no value in their lives other than work. tons of people out this in many industries.

      they have no hobbies, no passions, and their friendships are typically shallow competitions of materialism and titles.

        One of the guys I used to work with that was like that seems to have other hobbies. He likes riding his bike and learning guitar, playing video games, traveling Europe. But he’ll also just work though a weekend or on his vacation. I don’t get it.
