Here's my view as an executive, if my folks regularly add hours to their day/week to get their job done they're not good at their job. If they're good at their job they know how to prioritize and they also know how to optimize and automate constantly so they can do more with less. They also do their form of zero base reporting or zero base budgeting constantly to get rid of what was once important that no longer is.
To be fair in senior leadership a 40 hour week probably isn't going to happen but you should swing between 55 hours and 30 hours depending on the week and average it to the mid to high 40s.
I suspect this isn't going to be a popular post, and I accept your down votes but would also like to hear your contrary view along with it if you don't mind.
This seems pretty reasonable IMO. What are biggest reasons 40 hour week won't happen for senior leadership?
Mostly irregularity of what needs to happen. Some weeks everything you can imagine needs to happen now, other weeks not much needs to happen. I've learned not to shove my slow weeks with irrelevant busy work so I can ebb and flow with the work.
Last week with this SaaS implementation I was so busy I couldn't see straight. Right now I'm chilling on Lemmy and thinking about what other famous movie scenes I can enhance with Muppets lol.

This is pretty close. It's hard to get exacts but I'm happy with it!
For this and everything you've said in this thread you are a role model!
Lol you're welcome, and thank you...?
Here is the one that got me started on it, I'm particularly happy with it. Do you know the movie? I may or may not judge you if you get it wrong 😂
Just recently watched for the 10th something time, its funny that Marcellus eventually does look like a bitch with the ballgag in his mouth.
Thx for the laughs!
