You can grind. But do it FOR YOU. If you are going to put in 12 hours, be damn sure it benefits your mission.

The reward for good work...
is more work.

Work hard, but never sacrifice your health. *_Health_* is the one thing that will be with you FOREVER

I have a saying. "The reward for work is more work." That is literally how the corporate world works. They don't necessarily pay you more, but they'll definitely give you more work.

[Betonoszlop]

Overproducing is dangerous. Not only because you wont be compensated, but because you will raise the standards for yourself and others

[johndough]

Josh is wise beyond his years.
After > 20 years in the industry, I can tell you he’s 100% correct.

Worked at a data entry job where a guy wrote a script that would read in forms and autofill everything electronically. He'd do a week's worth of work in minutes then spend the rest of his time researching and learning other stuff for himself, and every now and then click submit to submit something so management thought he was still working. He knew he couldn't move too fast or they'd catch on he was scripting or too slow so they'd notice he wasn't working on work. It was great.
Work smarter not harder.

This isn’t just for devs, this is advice for all working people. Don’t make it easy for them to exploit you. Labor without wages has a name and it’s called slavery.

[patdoty]

hustle culture is out of control, we need "live life and be happy" culture

[musichealseveryone]

My job has a zero tolerance policy for working after hours, which I’m so thankful for. If we don’t finish work in the day, it’s ok, and we can do it the next day.

[bradchellingworth]

I think the worst thing is those people who jump up and volunteer to work extra hours for free, and make you look bad for not doing the same. If you want my time, you have to pay for it. I'm not a charity for your business!

I remember my first software engineering job in 1992. I worked until i passed out. I was so proud of myself of that job and what i was doing. I got laid off one year later.

"Minimum wage, minimum effort."

[YEDxYED]

I can’t help but work hard at every place I do.
He’s right guys, you’re quite literally rewarded with more work.
Don’t DO IT!

[DividedStates]

We have a saying here in Germany. "Stell dich dumm, brachste nicht arbeiten." Pretend to be dumb, save yourself work.

[StewartStewart]

Holy shit, this is so real. Years later, I would go around the office and tell younger devs to go home and live life.

When I burned out after four years, my supervisor had no sympathy.

[lolitsBilly]

I've seen this happen to others at my internship and one of my coworkers always told me "Never over work yourself since they'll expect it all the time and you'll work yourself to death". Josh is right guys.

[Mazxlol]

I was that guy. Got my first good job and wanted to work hard. Quickly I realized for working hard my reward was only extra work with zero compensation. Society always tell you “work hard and you will go places” but it’s not true at all.
