Intersting Article about Tech Job Vs. Life, Enjoy! Opinions are welcome

I will just say "Ditto" and add that when I fly out on the 20th to GA for a week of Vacation there will no one to do my job, and if I want to make any actual cash, I will be on my iphone responding to leads from the beach. - Oh and at least working from home can involve a glass of wine.

side note: @WmLevertte You were about 5 blocks from me last Sat in STL. Hope all went well-it was a a crazy weather day!

Automotive industry professionals debate work-life balance and productivity culture, contrasting the dealership industry's expectation of 50+ hour weeks with tech sector norms that value results over hours logged.

The consensus key insight is that productivity and quality of work matter far more than physical presence or hours worked, and that guilt-tripping employees about leaving "on time" is outdated practice that harms both morale and actual output.
