At the minimum, full time employees spend 40 hours a week in the office and/or performing their specified duties. In today's society, however, 40 hour work weeks are scarce and more employees are working upwards of 50 to 60 hours a week! The extensive time away from home can have different impacts on individuals, but if the corporate environment is appealing, the impact might not be as substantial.
In a recent article written by the CEO of Hightail, Brad Garlinghouse shares a very valuable piece of advice about choosing your work. That suggestion is:
"Take the professor, not the class."
At face value this suggestion looks to relate more to students, however, Garlinghouse goes on to discuss how that same advice holds true in the workplace.
He notes that if you will be spending 50 to 60 hours a week in your cubicle, "make sure that you are surrounded by passionate people" who enjoy what they do and inspire you to work to your greatest potential!
To read more about how Garlinghouse has instituted this advice into his life and how you can do the same, check out the article,
