Hard work and dedication tend to be viewed as positive traits in a professional setting. However, everything in moderation, as they say, and the same goes for striving for outstanding results at work. Yet some people choose to walk the extra mile, even if that means compromising at the expense of their free time or even their loved ones.

Such hustlers often try to encourage others to strive for excellence, too, by methods that some would consider questionable at best. We have combed through the vastness of the internet to find examples of such motivational posts and tips on how to fully use your potential, even if that means forgetting what a weekend or a day off feels like. Scroll down to find them on the list below, but remember that it might be best to take such advice with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Even people 3000 years ago realized humans need a freaking day off! It's written into religion. The 7th day is a day of rest! Humans get burned out. You have to have time to turn your brain Off!

You must have a maid or wife or mom who takes care of your house/chores for you. Most people I know still "work" on "days off" except it's unpaid.

From his page: "A Columbia Business School student enrolled in their full-time MBA program", who "edit Exec Sum, the daily financial newsletter [...] [a gig] which I landed by sending Mr. Meme page a DM when I was drunk in Colorado", who "run a course on building and monetizing newsletters" and claim that "once [his s****y blog] reaches a critical size, I’ll write a book or two or three, because 'author' just sounds so much cooler than 'blogger' ".

    Also known as the grindset, the hustle culture depicts its representatives as go-getters always striving for excellence, as there’s always new goals to reach, more money to make, or more benefits to reap. As BBC Workplace puts it, they are the people who wake up at 4AM, chug down a coffee and a green juice, and get cracking.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    According to BBC, such a mindset has likely stemmed from the giants at Silicon Valley and spread like wildfire in part thanks to modern technology. (You have likely seen motivational videos of the benefits of starting the workday at 4am yourself, if you’re online at all.)

    “Silicon Valley had an image of being a paradigm of the economy, at the cutting edge of technology,” Nick Srnicek, a lecturer in digital economy at King’s College London, told BBC, adding that such a leading position means that whatever happens in the valley spreads elsewhere, too.

    As someone who has had rough work hours, you actually end up spending more because you don’t have time to do things the slower, cheaper way, so you do them the faster, more expensive way. And you get MORE stressed about problems because you don’t have time to solve them.

    Srnicek added that the hustle culture legitimizes the idea of long hours being the only way to success. In addition to that, “Hustle culture ideology says that people are overworking not because they’re economically driven to, but simply because this is the way go-getters get what they want,” the expert explained.

    That might be true as representatives of the hustle culture are often wealthy enough to allow themselves a little break; but instead of that, they choose to continue hustling. If you’re looking for proof, check the LinkedIn profiles of some wealthy individuals and you should be able to find at least a couple of pro-hustle mentality posts.

    “With the rise of LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok, hustle culture narratives exploded,” another expert, Dannielle Haig, principal psychologist at DH Consulting—a consultancy specializing in leadership development and wellbeing at work—told BBC.

The lovely office manager said to just take the first appointment available and go! I got my dog seen to by 10am and home by 10.30, and was then able to go back to work knowing she was going to be fine, and that they had my back too.

    Absolutely definitely prey to an MLM. Firstly they hook people in with 'work the hours you want to work, not when a boss tells you' and 'work as much or as little as you want'. Once you're trapped they then push **hard** at the fact that the reason you are not making the money expected is because you are not working hard enough and promote working constantly, including such highly inappropriate moments as above. All the work is, btw, is recruiting more vulnerable people to buy starter kits.

    Even though, according to Haig, the narratives surrounding hustle culture have exploded with the rise of social media, the bubble seems to have already burst, or is likely slowly going down now. Instead of focusing on the grindset, employees nowadays opt for quiet quitting, which has unsurprisingly been pushed to the forefront by social media, too.

    According to Investopedia, having started to appear in people’s professional setting back in 2020 (and in their vocabularies in 2022), quiet quitting refers to doing the bare minimum: enough to maintain the job, but not a step—not to mention a mile—extra.

    Back then, in 2020, roughly half of young adults—52% of those aged 16 to 24, to be exact—reportedly believed in the efficiency of the hustle culture. (The older generations didn’t as much, though, as the percentage for those between 25 and 44 stood at 39% and 35% for people 45 and older.)

    It’s no surprise that constant hustling can have serious consequences, as it often inevitably leads to stress and burnout. According to a survey carried out by Deloitte, 77% of respondents have experienced burnout at their place of employment. To make matters worse, roughly half of them have faced such a distressing state more than once.

    Deloitte's survey also found that, contrary to some hustlers’ beliefs, those who enjoy their work can feel stressed about it, too. Contrary to another point often pushed by representatives of the hustler culture, stress is not always a motivating force to do better; it can simply be a state that makes one’s life miserable.

    The survey found that more than nine-in-ten respondents admitted that having an unmanageable amount of stress and frustration has negatively impacted the quality of their work, and an additional eight-in-ten believed that burnout from work has negatively impacted their personal relationships.

    Whether motivated by the hustle culture of saying no to days off or not, many people fail to use the vacation days they have at work; Deloitte’s survey revealed that roughly one fourth of them never or rarely use all of them.

    That, too, can lead to some troublesome outcomes, as taking a break at least once in a while is crucial for an individual’s well-being. According to Verywell Mind, our body is designed to respond to short bursts of stress, so prolonging such a detrimental state can lead to chronic stress and health problems that arise from it (such as gastrointestinal issues and high blood pressure, just to name a couple).

    "Having a rough day at school", happens to kids, and bringing them to work is not a bad solution. The kid isn't sick or hurt, and just needs a break from school. They don't need somebody to pay attention to them, they just need some time to themselves. Hanging out at the office, reading or playing on a tablet, and then getting lunch with mom is a perfectly acceptable way to pass such a day.

    I was thinking it could be done properly. Mom could attend an important meeting and get a few things done. But in between would be able to sit and talk with her daughter. I wouldn’t restrict it to just lunch, I’d take 15-20 min here or there throughout the day. I’ve had my kid snuggled against me while I’ve worked (when teleworking). I can get things done and I can stop and care for my child, feed them, listen to them.

    Your daughter is upset so you take her to your work, leave her to cry at a random desk and then post a picture of it to social media. You in your weird egocentric justification call this prioritizing your family. Your daughter does not lool like she's feeling very prioritized. She looks like a kid that will spend years in therapy to get over your parenting. What the hell is wrong with you?

    But for people pushing themselves to the limit 24 hours a day, seven days a week, taking short breaks might not be enough. According to the adult and child psychiatrist and a clinical professor at NYU, Lea Lis, MD, in order to avoid burnout and a mental health decline, it might be necessary for them to redefine what success means to them and how to reach it.

    “Things like taking a bath, getting your nails done, or ‘me time’ can hardly begin to reprogram the stress we put our bodies through from the second we wake up and grab our phones,” she wrote in Psychology Today.

    Did they forget that to become a millionaire by "hustling" you also have to show a complete lack of empathy. Very few people have gotten there without using/abusing other people. Jeff Bezos has inhumane working conditions for the lowest rung employees. Musk's father became rich from his emerald business (it's debated if he owned the actual mine or not) and you know who works in a lot of those mines ? Poor people and children. No decent person would be a billionaire, they'd use the money to further the community or battle climate change or any things like that.

    To be fair, there's not much to do in a hospital watching a sick baby, and routine might help keep them sane under stress and uncertainty.

    You think they care that much about you? - plus, all that shows is that you don't know how business works, once that money's been budgeted, whether you spend it or not, they don't care what happens to it - do that to often and the budget will go down and you or some other poor sod will have no choice but to sleep in the car and things may not end well.

However, every now and then, there's a brief snatch of German. I was so utterly delighted when I understood it. There was no thought, no translation, it just arrived in my brain as easily as if it had been said in English. It made me so happy.

    You can read every text book in the world, but if you don't use the knowledge in a real world environment it doesn't mean sĥ*t. You can read a book on C++ but it's useless if you don't code. You can read a book on driving a vehicle with a 13 speed transmission, but it doesn't matter if you don't actually drive the vehicle. Book knowledge isn't real knowledge.

    Ummmm....that's just called a living wage, and then it should be at least double your age.

    This is great math. You should never, NEVER be paid less per year than your age.

    Hannibal lost, Grant was a huge believer in work/life balance who only succeeded because the Civil War broke out, and Genghis Khan lived for raping and killing. Not great role models really.

    If there's one thing we all know that Genghis Khan, Ulysses S. Grant, and Hannibal of Carthage had in common it was a great blog.

    Half of my family are engineers. And in good positions in multi national companies so don't give me this b******t. In fact, the engineers are far cooler and jolly people than the others (at least in my family)

    "We know how to complete a 20+ assignment in one day" A 20+ page reading assignment? A 20+ writing assignment? A 20+ slide deck A 20+ list of features to a website You can't finish a sentence properly. You can't complete a 10 LINE assignment (that you gave yourself) correctly. STFU.

    Do you want a round of applause for having the decency to ignore your phone for the 1 hour you are spending with your son? They clearly don't spend that much time with them anyway from the sounds of it if they're only learning how much their son knows about things that interest him.

    It's "holes", not "wholes". Maybe during your one hour with your son, he can teach you the difference.

    If you think ignoring your work phone for *an hour* to give undivided attention to your son is worthy of a self-congratulatory post on social media, I predict you're not going to see much of your son in your later years (cue "Cat's in the Cradle")...

    At first, I thought "softest, most snuggle-worthy" was going to describe that second chin, Marketopia bro. Way to hustle and not wait even an hour to use your kid for financial gain and shove a camera in their face to give you attention. (Slow clapping here.)

    You also forget Good Friday if you're not Catholic, since it's not even a recognized holiday in many countries.

    Shoot, I'm Catholic and I sometimes forget when it's Good Friday. I don't know where OP is from but we don't get a day off on Good Friday.

    Maybe because instead of spending time with her baby, she's posting?! If someone's replacing you due to an emergency, then shouldn't you let them replace you and focus on the emergency?!
