I used to work with a guy like this, they’d do six hours of work in twelve hours, were constantly having important business calls etc, and simply didn’t have a life outside of work.
I’d be willing to bet this person was less productive than some executives that worked less than half the time.
Exactly. I worked with a few people like this. Claimed to work 7-8 basically. I would see them drop for a hour at a time several times a day, be unresponsive for hours, and hardly get anything accomplished, and when it was, it was either broken or poor quality.
That sort of thing was common at this shitty bank I used to work for. People would fart around and stretch out tasks just to spend more time in the office pretending to be at “work”.
Performative nonsense that drove me bonkers. Especially when I wanted to finish up a task so I can go home, and they’re hanging out at my desk bending my ear with small talk.

The brag isn’t what they think it is
