Comment Balance and the scales of justice (Score 1) 709

My favorite professor has a set of scales on his bookshelf to remind him that everything must be kept in balance, and that very much includes your personal life. What most people don't realize is that everyone has a limit to how much time they can effectively work. Working 12 hour days will eventually lead to working 0 hour days surfing the internet or processing your divorce. Put work under a time axis. No matter what you do, the area under the curve remains consistant, all your doing is changing the window. Remember that what the company is saving in money by making you work hard you will most likely pay on the backend in your health, personal life and mental state. THESE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT! Finally, sometimes a deadline can't be hit, if you work hard to make the deadline be sure to make it apparent that this is a temporary burst that requires adequet recovery time. If not you will be continously worked hard until you break and they fire you for not performing.
