Perhaps unsurprisingly, I have a bunch of Opinions™ on work-life balance and time management. Lately, I've been particularly bugged by the common belief that employer incentives don't align with employee well-being. So, I wrote a thing (it even has graphs!): https://thesquareplanet.com/blog/about-40-hours/

@jonhoo Very good read :) I also believe that many people work overtime, because it's the "easy" was out. Nobody can blame you for a bad result if you put in 60h/week for months, can they? Staying just one more hour at your desk is the opposite of action. It's a good coping mechanism when in despair. Also people will be very impressed by it. Working smarter requires much more discipline and effort and is much harder to be noticed by or explained to colleagues, managers and friends.

@JulianWgs Very true — the "performative" aspect of working where you're not actually producing output of value is a real unfortunate aspect of today's workplace. I'd like to think that it's not rewarded (it certainly shouldn't be), and thus dissipates on its own with time, but that sadly only holds true in some places and not others. I actually wrote an article internally at work on our perception of how other people work that talks to this a little. I should try to see if I can post that too
