Burstable bandwidth > 60 Hour Work Week? Last week, Sergey Brin from Google had a memo leak where he encouraged everyone working on Google’s AI project to work 60+ hours week. By contrast, over here at Jobot, we believe in the concept of burstable bandwidth. Our founder, Heidi, believes in 9/80 work schedule, and taking over other Friday off. Have a big launch or client need? Burst up and put in the effort required. Then, take time off to relax and renew. Why? Treat employees like professional athletes and get championship results. Just as pro athletes burst up their energy and leave it all on the field and then take a much deserved rest, people working hard at companies deserve the same respect and schedule. Below is more from the Business Insider article which interviews Heidi. What do you think? Vote + Comment! ???? Jobot Find a Good Job at: Jobot.com From Business Insider article by Tim Paradis Link: https://lnkd.in/eGui5uxu "In my experience, about 60 hours a week is the sweet spot of productivity," Brin wrote in the memo published in full by The Verge. "Some folks put in a lot more but can burn out or lose creativity. A number of folks work less than 60 hours and a small number put in the bare minimum to get by. This last group is not only unproductive but also can be highly demoralizing to everyone else." Yet, for many employees, more time at their desks doesn't necessarily mean they'll be more productive — and the extra hours could even hurt output if workers rev their engines for too long, workplace observers told Business Insider. Like professional athletes Longer hours can, in some cases, be an issue of "optics," Trougakos said — a display of how dedicated people are to an organization rather than what they get done. He said it's hard to put a number on the ideal number of hours for so-called knowledge work because it tends to be different from something like manufacturing, where more time spent assembling widgets would yield more widgets. By contrast, with desk jobs, "You can spend 60 hours on the clock and be very unproductive," Trougakos said. Heidi, the founder and CEO of Jobot, a consulting and recruiting firm that uses artificial intelligence, likens her employees to professional athletes who need to rest between games. Without time to recover, she told BI, "you can't play at the same level." As a tech exec, Golledge said, she believes in "burstable bandwidth" for her workers. That means if there's a key deadline, they can expect to put in more time. "You work a bit harder on those days, but you have to be able to rest and recharge, and then you can come at the problem anew," Golledge said. ??
