I told a manager that, if you work 60h a week, you don't know how to do you job. I slipped in that hourly payment isn't terrible either if you do so.
He never bothered to try to make me work "for free" ever again.
No one on there deathbed will say they wish they worked harder. They will regret all the other moments they missed because they were working too much.
Time is more than just money, it's your life.
I read somewhere on a study of male americans on their deathbed, that they were 100% who regretted being in the office to much.
Can't find the source though.
I'll put my hand up and say that I will wish I worked harder. My job is simple and i work remote. If I was willing to work harder, I could either move up in the company or move to a competitor. That would get me more money. More money would help me to pay rent on a nicer place to live. And then with the new nice place, I could get the rest of my head in order. So I will absolutely go to my doom wishing I worked harder, put in more hours, and showed a high degree of dedication.
That's what everybody thinks before they are on their deathbed, not so much when they're actually there... The peace you're looking for will most likely always be 2 steps ahead of you
Plus working hard is not necessarily correlated with being paid more, or being promoted.
The company could easily refuse you promotion if you're considered irreplaceable.
