Work Hard Play Hard

A person who’s incredibly dedicated to their career and often has more then one job yet never turns down a good time. Their schedule is so crammed with work and social events that they have to pull out a 20lb planner to pencil you in.
Work hard play hard. Alishia. On top of her game, educated, has a full-time career, dedicated mother, plans every detail of her life. She’s so busy that when you text her she will forget to text you back but will call you in a rush on speaker phone on her way to next event or as she’s working on something. (There will always be another person she’s speaking to at the same time) However, when it’s time to go out she will pregame in the car with fireball shots, drop it like it’s hot when her song comes on, and she’s a social butterfly loved by everyone she meets.

Results Oriented Work Environment

A work environment where team members are measured by their results, output, and performance. They are not measured by their hours put in or presence in the office. The workers are given autonomy over their assigned projects, and allowed the freedom of deciding when and how meet their assigned goals.
I want to work for a results oriented work environment. They offer an incentive for being efficient and the autonomy to complete your work how you want.
