This post from Kathy really hit home. Are you passionate about your company? Your job? I’ve thought about jobs where I’ve been the most happy and they were the times when I was challenged. I never had to be told I need to work late or come in over a weekend. Those were the times when I was so excited, so engaged in a project that I didn’t mind working longer hours.
I recall a time, at a company I used to work for when someone from sales asked if I’d talk to a guy on my team about working longer hours in order to complete a project. But the project wasn’t exciting and this person from sales tended to hover over project making them even less exciting. I never did ask this guy to work longer hours. It wouldn’t have done any good.
