How the F do I deal with overworkers?

They have no life They have nowhere to go They have no one to be with They have no passions outside work either

And they make your life hell as they become the baseline for comparison for all sorts of management from appraisal to work distribution.

Feel free to disagree with me, but I’m genuinely pissed today. How do you deal with them? I have a decent life outside work but lose most of it while trying to catchup to such people so that I don’t get fired.

Sorry for the title.

I'm also like this brother. But why I work like this? I come from a small village in India . Haven't got proper education or exposure. Not born with silver spoon and this is the only way to feed our family. We too have emotions like you, but sacrificing everything for our future and family. I strongly disagree with @Elon_Musk. Usually, only people who don't work hard do like that.

The real Elon Musk would vouch for you. I resonate with you. If anything, work harder.

So what about those who want a good WLB? They should slave themselves away?

You can't. These fucks keep working and licking ass like teacher's pets and make life hard for the rest of us.

Sometimes I feel this overworking and boot licking culture is INDIAN thing.

Most indian startups have the same culture, when these people switch to abroad, they pollute other MNC as well.

You and Your generation needs to understand tradeoffs.

They are actively sacrificing other things in exchange for a faster promotion. You make a different choice, understand where it will get you. Managers are not folks who would just reward time in office instead of work. If they do, you can always find a place where they value what you value.

We all have our issues.

The real reason I have worked even till 3am and been to the office sharp at 9am the very same day is because I can't handle the silence at home. More so after my mom passed away last year. Tried being serious in relationships a couple of times, but failed to open up. Work is the only way I can keep my head off things. And before you say it, I tried everything...but pills.

Try to gauge why someone's doing something and if they're doing it sincerely or just faking it. Trust me, as someone who spends way longer observing people than I should, it helps you read between the lines.

We over workers aren't always doing it to impress the seniors. Sometimes it's just clinging to the last straw, the last that we have any control over and the only one we think we know.

I am in the same boat and overwork is helping me to forget my old and terrible memories.
