Workers: DO NOT OVERWORK YOURSELF to avoid getting laid off.
- You’re damaging your life and health.
- Your employer doesn’t actually notice (no, really, they don’t.)
- Your behavior enables future mismanagement of resources.
- When layoffs come, you’re gonna get laid off anyway.
Remember that a company’s job is to extract maximum work from you for minimum pay, so your job is to extract maximum pay for minimum work. Somewhere in the middle, both parties find an equilibrium that they agree on. Do not voluntarily modify your side of the bargain to your detriment.

@drahardja devil's advocate;
* Blanket statements are always silly ~~
* Nobody would mind it if you did 100% of your work in an hour, overwork is for *you* to get to where *you* want to be
* When you create an "us and them" between employees and employers, you are perpetuating a rivalry - and not one you're likely to win.
As this post appears more venting than actual advice I assume I'll be waved off as a shill, but I thought now is a good time to remind everyone that opinions are like assholes

@quitty devil's advocate devil's advocate:
-- Nobody, but nobody ever seeks nor wants an unsolicited devil's advocate
-- Devil's advocates are assholes with hemorrhoids as long as a thumb, horribly painful and a source of misery
Now, I will surgically extract myself....

@drahardja yes.
I learnt this lesson straight out of uni, working my 'dream job' at Lotus & got laid off within a year. It hurt.
Since then I only work if I'm being paid. I don't do free overtime or let a job get to me. That's nearly 25 years ago(!) and if it's hurt my career then I haven't noticed.
Now I'm working for myself it's harder to be so strict but it's a different deal!
