Going for the 5 hour workday
Also worth realising that in a lot of companies you&#x27;re not being paid for your output, you&#x27;re being paid for a certain amount of access to your brain.<p>The value in your job isn&#x27;t your output, it&#x27;s the organisational outcomes that occur as a result of you doing what ya do.<p>Some companies are fine and built around the outcomes of 5 hours a day of your code. Some organisations though really want 8 hours a day of access to those sweet, sweet neurons. Even if the constant interruptions, meetings and feelings of unproductivity are side effects, perhaps they value the outcomes of 2 hours a day of your code and the value sharing that comes from an inane question at 17:59, more than absolute output.<p>Not saying the latter is more efficient or should be right, but just showing there&#x27;s different value companies derive from their employees over and above project deliverables.
