Do You Really Need To Be 8 Hours In The Office?

This Dilbert strip

unproductive time

unproductive time

made me think for a little on questions like

  • what is productive and unproductive time?
  • how long should you work everyday?
  • should you keep to the rules like working day start/end hours?
  • are you an example for others?
  • should you screw your subordinates up if they are not being at their desks precisely from X am till Y am?

I have a very short answer for such questions: IT DOESN’T MATTER WHEN YOU COME TO THE OFFICE AND WHEN YOU GO HOME. UNTIL YOU PERFORM EQUALLY/BETTER THAN OTHERS NO ONE CAN POINT THIS TO YOU. IF SOMEONE DOES – TELL HIM “FUCK YOU” :)

We are not living to work, we are working to learn and have fun, to create. Let people working in fastfoods/banks/receptions/etc. be a slaves which should spend 8 hours every day believing this is very beneficially for the society. Good people should try to manage their life to spend as less time on routines as possible and to leave as much time for learning new things as they can.
