Hustle culture has taken over so much, that having boundaries or resting are actually seen as negatives. Those who stay online long hours past the official workday are applauded for going above and beyond, while logging off at five so you can hit the gym or for daycare pick up are seen as attributes of an average performer or someone who’s not in it to win it. Do y’all feel the same?

I think some of that requires taking personal responsibility for how much you let other people's opinions affect you. You don't need to buy into the toxic productivity mindset, and you can simply elect not to care and do your work when you're paid to.

All of you are too high ranking to even remotely connect with your immediate (straight down) associates and underlings. To GET the job, you have to show and tell HR/hiring manager that you ARE in it to win it, and if you don't, or are not in it to win it, you don't get hired and spend another 6-18 months looking for jobs while all employers exclusively hire those willing to sacrifice boundaries, labor law adherence, and all employee rights to off time, earned days off, and humane treatment.

Trust me. I've been through all the HR rigamarole since COVID. It continues to get worse every month, without fail.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. In my opinion, the key is to show up when it matters.

If your team is under a tight deadline, then yes, do what it takes to get it done and get it done well. Make your efforts visible so that senior leadership and your team know all the extra effort it took to deliver.

That said, no need to be online at 8pm on a random Tuesday for no reason. When you’re not under time constraints, set boundaries and enjoy life. You earned it during the harder times.

You make a solid point. When the team needs it, I always show up. That's got nothing to do with how it makes me look, purely being a good team player.
But yeah couldn't hurt to be a bit loud about and make it known to leadership

All of us want the same thing! Money- Flex Timing- Great Culture- Respect - Value in what we are doing!
We, the employees make an organization. If all of us want the same thing, how come the culture of that organization still remains the same! Why can’t we be the pioneer? Thoughts…
