Quiet Quitting: Is leaving work on time bad for your career?

I think that Kevin guy is living in a 36-hour day. Does anyone hv 25 hours in a day? It shows that this Kevin guy is pretty selfish & self-centred and that every worker should revolve around his work. Lol 😂

​

If you have the passion in that industry, you probably just eat sleep & dream about it.

If you don't like what you do, every hour feels dreadful.

Thanks for sharing!

I feel the amount of hours clocked does not equal to the amount or quality of work done.

​

Let's compare the two employees:

​

One who clocks 12 hours at work spends his time constantly going for 20 mins long breaks, is uncontactable whenever you need him and gives loads of excuses to get out of works and on top of that, gets very little done.

​

Another clocks in on time and leaves on time, takes breaks as needed, is able to meet the work objectives for the day, is contactable during the working hours.

​

From our point of view, the second employee is a better worker as he's able to complete the work in the given time frame.

​

However to many "leaders", the amount of hours clocked is proportionate to the amount of work done. Sadly, not many leaders are able to recognise otherwise. Hopefully this mindset changes in the near future.

I think it depends on the environment. On my first week of work (many years ago), my senior commented that he stays late every day when he first started because there is so much to learn. I told him that if there is a need to, I'll work late but I can't be staying just for the sake of staying
