Forty hours feels like a fantasy. Everyone I know is logging fifty plus, and that is treated as normal. At what point did this become the expectation?

Sitting at home surfing the web, doing laundry and going out to do your grocery shopping isn't actually considered " working".
Only Americans are working 40 plus hours a week.
I wanna be like Antonio, brick the strategy, preach ‘work joy,’ and still show up in Hermès like I dropped 50.
@1en I was offered a promotion with no raise so I can stay employed. I found a job outside of HPE and pays more. I told my manager to make me an offer to leave. I got the offer they give to the people they PIP. Good luck to you all.
I always worked around 60 at Juniper. But most if us are getting pay cuts at HPE. Either directly with the lower comp packages in our new offer. Or indirectly - you know RSUs and bonuses will go down working for a dish like HPE. What was the bonus payout for HPE this year? Anyway, yes I will now start working closer to 40 with the lower comp. It’s going to be so easy to coast here.
@rp I was wondering the same thing.. I don't think I even worked 15 hours/week and management was doing the same thing. That's how I got away with it. Unmotivated workers = the stagnant company that HPE is today.
Honestly, if I worked 50hrs/week I'd find a company that would make an effort to compensate me for my efforts!
What group are you in? I average 15 hours a week of which half is listening to meetings.
Antonio loves DEI women who aren't as competent as men, it's the perfect combo: get to feel progressive while still feeling superior. Win-win for his fragile masculinity.
50 hours is a minimum. It will take more hours to make up the work for all the WFRs.
