When I was a young stoner I worked for a private company and loved 90% of the stuff I was doing, the boss was understanding and understood easily, even though the pay was a little low. Same later, when I joined a startup with people who liked my ideas and joined my efforts to do things my way, it worked until the company was sold to an ancient corporate. I was extremely productive at both of these jobs and itâ(TM)s not about the hours that you work, itâ(TM)s about culture of the company and how youâ(TM)re being treated and of course if you feel accomplished at work.
