I literally am one of these people. I work on weekends and late on weekdays because I genuinely want to accomplish what I’m aiming for. My boss literally does not care if I ever even log in if I don’t have a meeting, because she knows I am going to be accomplishing things without her input, direction, or motivation.

I’m sure you’ve had a real shitbird boss or five. We all have. But that’s not why professionals generally work hard. You don’t get to this level if you aren’t passionate.
