Google co-founder Sergey Brin has proposed a 60-hour workweek for employees focused on the company's AI initiatives, describing it as the "sweet spot of productivity". In a memo, he suggested that working beyond the typical 40 hours fosters better output, although he noted that excessive hours could lead to burnout. However, workplace experts caution that longer hours often lead to decreased efficiency and motivation, advocating instead for "burstable bandwidth", which allows employees to work in focused bursts for optimum productivity.
Sergey Brin sees working about 60 hours a week as "the sweet spot of productivity." He advises AI-focused employees to aim for these hours.
John P. Trougakos warns, "Too much time on the job can lead to an increase in errors and a drop in motivation." Stronger performance comes in shorter bursts.
