It is the norm where I work to have a big deadline or new contract and immediately assume this means that everyone will be working into the evening or coming in at least one day on the weekend. I don’t doubt that some of this is warranted and justified; however, why does it just seem to be assumed? Shouldn’t we be able to manage work assuming a regular 40 (or 45) hour week? If not, what does this say about our business or our management itself?
Now, Patrick at ‘MicroISV on a Shoestring’ has written a very detailed discussion of why this type of business logic is not only wrong but actually destructive. Check it out. And remember, work smarter, not longer.
