I hate this kind of ethic; our competitors have it almost exclusively (from my observation).
We are a much smaller company all round with a very relaxed work schedule (like today, our busiest day, we finished early to watch the football) and yet we consistently outperform, outmanoeuvre and beat those competitors into the dust.
It's all about work ethic and the ability of a "team" to Get Things Done.
I think the leanest and most productive type of companies/groups/teams today tend to:
- work flexible hours
- work relatively few hours
- and most importantly works hard to reduce the hours you need to be productive (this does wonders IMO)
