| Sep 6, 2017 at 14:39 | comment | added | FreeMan | Sadly, I worked for a company where overtime was noticed and rewarded. There were quite a number of groups where everyone partied until ~2-3pm, then got busy and worked until 7pm. I got all my work done before lunch then invented tasks to keep myself busy until it was quitting time and went home. I didn't stay there long enough for anyone to complain about my "slacking". | |

| Sep 6, 2017 at 6:43 | comment | added | Sumyrda - remember Monica | @EdmundReed taking breaks and not doing a lot of overtime isn't lowering your work ethics, it's taking care of yourself so that your company can enjoy your excellent work ethics (getting things done and not goofing off during your regular work hours) for a long time instead of having to deal with your burnout in a couple of years. | |
| Sep 6, 2017 at 2:01 | comment | added | ESR | There are companies who will reward employees making themselves always available and being helpful, as opposed to taking advantage of them. Perhaps OP should find one of these companies. I agree that this is a good work ethic to have, and if other people are taking advantage, rather than the solution be "lower your worth ethic" I think an alternative solution which allows him to maintain his work ethic should be sought. | |
