Should a senior employee be counting work hours?

I am one of the top people pay wise in my team but I don’t want to put in crazy work hours… like I earlier wanted to when I was in my 20s. Am I wrong?

Counting work hours! No! Who does that. But if you mean to say that, should senior employees stretch a bit, work a few extra hours here and there beyond the usual 9 hrs, then yeah, I think that becomes unavoidable.

I actually read this great book "Deep Work" which suggests that it's not essential to get your week end with crazy amount of work hours it's essential to only do your daily tasks ensuring that time you put in to do that work is not done with shallow focus {basically only engage in your work and nothing else with complete focus} So I think at the end of the day if you're completing your daily tasks it pretty much works

There is no specific tasks for Senior employees, nobody assigns you that. You are the one assigning and delegating, to yourself too. And at the end of the day, it Team’s efforts is lagging, you need to set things in order, either by doing it yourself or by chasing others.

Looking to hear from more senior folks on this thread. I have seen senior employees putting in crazy amounts of hours. They have to work with leadership to keep the business going, identify most impactful projects, write project proposals, etc. as well as with the junior employees to ensure they are ramping up well and delivering on time.
