I worked for months staying up till 3am almost every night in order to collaborate with a team on another time zone. No one ever praised me or thanked me or gave me a pat.

Yesterday two members of that team stayed up till 2am once for the first time in their lives to make a release. They got immediately labelled as the most dedicated employees.

Okay, sounds fair.

    @RStrydom yes, I'm friend with them. I work remotely, but I visit them frequently

    @Rabb they're in California, I work remotely from Europe.

    There are 9 hours of difference between us. They also like to sleep, in fact they're never available before 11am (their time) / 8pm (my time)

    Hmm... that sounds sucky. Do you think working remotely is maybe to blame partly?

    @popcorn yes, of course. That and the fact that I never said "hey, look at me! I'm working long hours!" (Although I must say that there are many people I worked with during night, so they knew what I did)

    Anyways, I wasn't expecting a reward, I just found all those emails about dedication very demotivating.
