Outch Reality Check
My American manager tried to write me up for “lack of
commitment" because leave at 5:00 sharp. work in the
Netherlands.
Success Story,
for the Dutch branch of a large tech company. We recently got. a new middle-manager based in New York.
He seemed like a nice guy at first, but it turns out he is totally obsessed with “hustle culture.”
Last week we had а meeting where he told me he was about my dedication to the team, He listed
his grievances quite clearly. He didn't like that my Slack status goes offline at 5:01 every single day. He was
annoyed that didn't reply to an email he sent on Saturday moming until Monday at 9:00 And he was especially
frustrated that refused to join а "team bonding” Zoom call that was scheduled for 7 my time, which is 1 his
time,
He gave me the usual speech about how “in this company, we the extra mile” and that if 1 want to grow, need to
be more available.
had to give him a bit of a reality check. looked him in the eye over Zoom and told him that in the Netherlands, if
you can't finish your work 5 it doesn’t mean you are dedicated. It means you are inefficient or understaffed.
told him neither.
also reminded him that contacting me outside of working hours for non-emergencies is actually frowned upon here,
and that my contract is for 40 hours, not “40 hours plus nights and weekends.”
He tried to threaten with a Performance Plan. immediately forwarded the email to our local Dutch
representative. She literally laughed when she read it and told me to ignore him. She said she would have a "chat
with him about local labor laws.
Since then, he hasn't single email after 5 honestly feel bad for you guys in the The fact that you have
to apologize for having a life outside of work is insane to
