This is an interesting conversation. As someone currently experiencing the downsides of hustle culture… burnout. I was a little bemused to hear Steve had dropped to not a minute more than 40-45 hours per week. I guess that might be not much depending on your baseline, in my country you can’t compel a employee to work more than 37.5 hours per week. Paid breaks take that up to 40 hours. People often work more than this of course.
I get that downshifting is a relative term though it feels like much of this conversation was still embedded in an extreme hustle culture, so the new norms being suggested are still extremely busy.
