A lot of people have very rigid thought patterns and canât cope with anyone doing something different. So they will decide you are lazy because you âfinish earlyâ while ignoring that you started early too. Or they berate people for âsleeping inâ and ignore they worked late at night, etc. Itâs a constant problem for shift workers because these sorts of people canât comprehend that when you work night shifts the day is not a âday offâ that is free to do things. I also get people that think because I work a lower number of days I am part time, they canât comprehend that Iâm actually working a 42 hour week.

I judge people by the quality of their work, not the time spent at a desk.
We have arrangements at work (with my team) that accommodate different work patters. We have due dates and a volume of work to get through.
Meetings are between 10-3 (mostly), and we carry on.
Works well for the most part.

Oh no, youâre doing it wrong. Youâre supposed to judge people by how much time they spend telling you about how hard they are working, and by how often you see them at work (with bonus points if you see them late in the day or eating at their desk). Judging people by the quality of work (or by whether they even work or just spend all day scrolling social media and shopping) is very unfair, the best workers donât have time to do actual work because they are too busy looking busy and doing performative work to actually get things done. The actual work is supposed to be done only by the lowest levels in the company for minimal pay, the top performers are all about visibility and bragging.

It appears we work at the same place
