The Irrelevant Overtime II

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. So will anyone notice you're no longer working overtime? Your manager probably will, but if you're getting your assignments done, it will not be an issue. In fact, if you're getting paid for overtime, your manager will be thankful you're no longer logging overtime.
It's your peers who will give you the most problems. Surprising huh? Why would they care more than your manager? Because they're jealous you're not stuck there with them. They may think you're getting special treatment, or not as much work.
What can you do to correct this situation? Pick your closest peer, and ask if you can help that peer with their workload. This will give you extra practice in eliminating tasks, and create an ally. If you can get this peer down to regular work hours as well, you're well on your way to an exciting new relevant career.
Take the opportunity to teach your peers a relevant technique.

Regards,
Steve
