As knowledge workers (I'm assuming), I feel strongly that the number of hours we spend at work has little correlation to the amount of value we deliver. I could easily get the same amount of value delivered in 4 7-hour days that I currently do in 5 8-ish hour ones. I'm only forced to hang out at work for a certain set of hours because of... tradition I guess?

I work for a start-up that is non-VC funded, I work 5 days a week, but I’m only in the office 5-6 hours a day (there are some weeks where things are very busy and it’s not the case) and I occasionally work a few hours on the weekend.

They’re only concerned with results and it’s a slow growing business, I am however extremely underpaid.

Getting ready to take the jump to a new job with a 70% pay increase, but the last few years my life has been sweet (besides living in a very shitty apartment).
