Is working late night is necessary for a good employee

No, I don't think a good employee has to work nights. A good employee..Well, I think that depends on how efficient they are - and how eager to do their job they are. The effort that they put into it. Sometimes that means staying a little late or working a little overtime, but not working nights necessarily. It doesn't make you a bad employee because you want to work early mornings/afternoons.

From where I stand, it is unnecessary for a good employee to work late night.

In fact, people who often work till the late night may be not a good employee. You see, when they have worked for a long time, then they will feel tired so that they can't keep efficiency to work hard. If we can work at the day time and get off duty on time, we can keep a more productive situation than working late at night.

For the long run, it is not wise to work at late nights.

I work 3rd shift So I start work late at night. Do I stay over in the morning if I am needed. Yes, I usually do. Because I know what it is like to be swamped by calls and have no one to help me answer them. So I hate to leave in the morning if it is VERY busy and leave everyone else in that crazy state. Is it appreciated..? I so not know- hopefully it is. Sometime I am just not sure.. But I get paid for it anyway. So I still benefit.:)

Hi Sachitra,

Working late hours is not a good sign that an employee is doing well with his/her job. We are given 8-hours to work on our target goals for the day and if we’re not able to accomplish it and it’s becoming habitual we need to evaluate what are the factors causing the delay to deliver targets and deciding to work on late hours. Extending hours or staying late in the office to accomplish a certain task is not a measure that you are efficient. You have to manage your time wisely—

We should all work smart and not slaving ourselves to benefit others. We have to have life outside for some fun. All work and no play really makes life dull.

Hi sachitra, i dont also approve of working or staying late in the office. Though there maybe times that you have to stay because there are things you have to finish and deadlines to meet but i dont think you have to do it everyday. By law, we are only required to work 8 hours a day and beyond that your employer should give you an overtime pay. You have to be requested to do so. But theres always an exception,some employees depending on their position, has a lot of responsibilities that they have to stay late in the office or even bring their work at home. According to psychologists, this is not a healthy practice and should be avoided.

No,definitely not. In Switzerland, a person who works late in the office is considered inefficient. Psychologists recommend that you keep your office work at the office and come home to spend quality time with the family. However, there may be times you have no choice but to finish some work. Make that an exception;not a habit!

I believe that quality time is better than quantity. It doesn't matter how he do it, either early morning or late at night. I am aware that people have different ways and motivation on how they work. A good employee for me is someone who can submit his deadline on time.

Hello, this topic caught my attention right away and got my interest because I am one who actually works at night often times for several reasons. There are things that we also have to consider why work at night. One example is being an applications manager, updating a system needs to be performed at night when there are no users online to avoid work interruption to a larger number of workers. So for sure, those who work at night may have their own reasons too which doesn't necessarily implies that they are good or not as an employee. For me, what is important is you are able to deliver what you have to ON TIME and most importantly, COST effective.

I don't think that's a necessity nor is it a good indication if you are a good employee or not. Personally, I think it is based on you performance and how dedicated you are in your job. It just so happens that most people enjoy their job too much that their world practically revolves around it. I really don't think that's even healthy. We are all just human beings and our body gets tired too no matter how much we still wanted to work.
