Jocko Willink is borderline insane, and scary.
I have zero desire to be a workaholic like many.
Addiction to stress is real, and ends with an early grave typically.
It matters significantly on what one’s job is, but so many hours are BS in many positions.
Teams meetings about future Teams meetings.
HR nonsense.
Diversity nonsense.
etc.
If not interrupted with said BS, I could do my job with 4 - 5 hour shifts.
An aside - I hate the saying “life hack” and I want all TED talk people to die...
The early bird gets the worm... lol
Psalm 127:2.
These are the same types who are always trying to see if they can be the sickest person in the office when they come down with something. It’s like it’s some type of badge of honor to them, yet it wrecks overall productivity when they infect everyone else. If you were to walk into another employee’s office and sit on their desk and yak endlessly such that they couldn’t get anything done you’d be disciplined and probably fired if you kept doing it. Yet, if you come in sick and end up causing that same employee to have to stay home with something, or kill their productivity while they’re in the office because you get them sick, then you’re viewed as some kind of hero because of your “dedication.”
Makes no logical sense, and should hopefully be a thing of the past after COVID. I’m retired now, but these people who would act like that used to infuriate me. They’d sit there all day hacking and sneezing all over everyone else, and nothing could convince them to just stay home, even though they weren’t accomplishing much anyway.
LOL! You just made my day!
I never felt that way either. My job in Corrections was the type that you didn't go home each day, and feel like you accomplished anything. You needed to have something else to occupy your mind when you left work. Earlier in my career I went to college at night, and spent my vacations traveling and doing historic research. Later in my career I worked 3-11 p.m. by choice because most of the brass worked days and weren't around. Many of the people who worked the 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift, would get off work, head to the local bar, drink until 7 or 8 p.m., and spend all that time talking about what went on at work that day. I was never able to do that, and didn't want to. I had too many responsibilities I had to get home to.
+ 1 million billion trillion to your last sentence.
