I agree 100%. The most toxic places that I’ve worked glorified working excessively long hours. Just this weekend a former co-worker at one of those toxic companies posted a pic of her very pregnant self in her office with the caption,”just the 2 of us left.” It was late evening on a weekend. She does this all the time. Yes, it’s tax season and long hours are required. But, you are a manager and you are bragging about being the last one there. AND, you’re pregnant. That’s why it really got to me this time. Just seems off to me. You should be delegating more effectively and it did not impress me that you’re 8 months pregnant. Terrible tone from the top.

This is why I hate the conversation around SDCs and automation. “You’ll get to spend more time on more complex work!” because sub-50 hour workweeks and better work life balance don’t make the partners money.

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
