A very wise blog post. However, I don’t agree with equating hard work with long hours. If someone can't complete their tasks within a standard workweek, it raises questions about their efficiency and capability. 40 hours a week should be sufficient to produce excellent results.

Working extra hours shouldn’t imply the person is having trouble meetings expectations. I mean it as a way to exceed them.

Imagine if the person who worked 40 hours and had excellent results put in more time.

Not a requirement for promotion but it certainly helps.

I agree with your point. But I guess the author focus was more about commitment than actual hours. Sometimes I find it hard to commit to a work I don't find pleasant. However, I notice I cause impact by committing these jobs no one wanted. People know you work hard, do not complain and do not select the types of work you do. If you put that working your normal hours, it pays off. Sometimes you get so committed to the goal that you end up working more than the normal hours. It subtle, but there is a difference. Thanks.
