I am physically in office 4 days (mon-thu), 5AM-7PM (Includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and workout), so effectively work 12 hours. I have a dedicated desk. During crunch time, I do this on Fridays and Saturdays (twice a quarter), helping out with high visibility customer issues. I take Fridays off. My manager and my team think I work a lot even though I put in only 45-50 hrs a week. I actually do get a lot done. Been doing this since March. Q4 check in done and am on track for OI. There is not formal agreement. I just do this and no one, manager or anyone else has asked me about this. Any one else do this? TC 490k Yoe 15 #google

Do you try to be discrete about it or are you open about it, declining meetings on Fridays?
I explicitly auto decline meetings on Fridays. (The whole day is set to a “no meeting Friday”, by the org itself
so.. when you said you take off on Friday doesn't translate to you taking a PTO, but rather an AFK at home?
So like what do you do if something gets scheduled on friday or people ping you? It’s not like that wont happen
Auto decline.

I work 0 day a week at VMware.
This.
Are you in engineering? Which product?
What are these checkins? Are they quarterly?
Yes. Mandatory quarterly check ins with the manager
Working 40+ hours a week at Google you are doing something wrong. Hell I work maybe 10 hours a week
Mostly just means you know what you’re doing For instance if I had 5 years of extensive redis experience and someone else had 6 months of redis experience For the same task involving redis, that person is definitely going to have to put in more hours than me.
You work 45-50 hours a week? Ouch.
I can coast at a low SI (ie meets expectations) by working 25 hours. I am going for a higher rating and a March 2024 promo.
And what will you get out of that promo? Chance of upside and more pay - miniscule. Chance of spoiling the nice thing you have currently - huge.
My manager and my team think I work a lot even though I put in only 80 hrs a week.
Rookie Numbers. Make it 100
One thing I’m certain: your coworkers hate you
Why?
All the slackers hate you. Simple human psychology.
Yeah I have someone on my team who works 8-6 Mon-Thu, has Fridays off. Got manager’s approval for it and everything
Nice.
What is OI
Outstanding. A second from the top rating.
OP is a fraud. We dont use “OI”
