I work as a smb sales person(1 level above entry level). I see our VPs are always working even into the late night they are sending out emails/slacks, but not sure what they are working on. Anyone here director level or above that can enlighten me? genuinely curious.
The higher up you go, stress/worry increases but “busy/grind” work decreases. You are basically thinking about strategy politically and technically 24/7. You are essentially married to work.
If there is little busy/grind work, why are they working so much? Wouldn’t it make more sense to go offline to think strategy?
Maybe part of the strategy is motivating employees by thinking they’re doing busy work haha
