    If oversleeping ends your career, its not your career, it’s wage slavery.

    If you oversleep by hours or days and your boss says, I was worried. Are you all right?

    And you reply, yeah, I overdid it last night. I’m just exhausted.

    And he says, that’s a relief. Can we still make the deadline?

    And you say Barring further unforseen problems. Yeah. I have the prelims already.

    And he says, You’re the heart of the team, Larry. Email me the current version after you’ve had some coffee.

    That is your career.

      this is what my current boss acts like and I love it. best job I’ve ever worked. I sleep in until 11 almost every day, my boss doesn’t care as long as I’m keeping pace with the things that are needed for the next release. I’ll say “I slept in this morning because I was really tired” and he’ll say “alright, go get some more rest if you’re still tired, update me on your task when you can”. this is how work should be.
