Well, in some cases, I think it just makes them feel important and indispensible (sp?). I work with people who are still in the office until they're thrown out in the evenings. I don't think they get through any more work than the rest of us, they just like to feel they're busier and more essential than everyone else. Usually, when they leave or are moved somewhere else, the person who replaces them works normal hours with no deterioration in the workload being covered.
+ 1, it's the same for people who feel they must send emails out on Saturday morning or Sunday evening, if they just got themselves organised or picked up the phone and spoke to people instead of playing email ping pong, they'd get a lot more done
Because their work defines them; many live to work.So why the unhealthy attitude towrads our free time? Why are so many people happy to waste their lives on unnecessary travel, holidays foregone and pointless tasks?
I work 80-90 hours to week and most weekends although I do try and make time to spend at least 5-10 mins of quality time with the kids each day. I try to have one holiday a year but only if there are quick direct flight connections home in case of emergency and there is a strong signal for my blackberry. I don't usually bring work home but usually try and answer a few e-mails in bed while the wife is rattling on about the difficult day she has had.
Sunny, That is too much.I hope you are joking.
Have you ever had a deep chat with yourself and asked what life is all about.
You are not here for a long time and this life is not a rehearsal for the next life.
