At an agency where people actually are out the door between 5 and 5:30 and I can't believe it
This is amazing.

Sweatshops are not worth it

I once led an agency where we maintained a good work-like balance. Worked hard to protect that from the suits. Then new folks joined the creative team. While not the sweatshop-types, they were more flexible about working slightly later to chase the idea. These folks felt the previous ones were being hardcore about leaving at 5. When I tried to broker and conversation about reading the room, I became the asshole. Not the guy who worked hard to achieve it for all, within reason. #lifelearning241

Wfh added the new expectation that you are never offline. Plenty of people go home at 5 but keep working.
