although I think companies should not force in any way people to do out of work activities, I do think doing so gives devs a big advantage, "knowledge", learning new languages, doing side projects, reading articles, contributing to open source, is always something that will improve your coding skills, and at the end that will be reflected on your day to day work, the quality of your code, and ultimately making the company and other people to perceive you as a great dev.
I like that one. So you're saying the act of doing something off-work is not valuable per se; it only becomes valuable when you're able to materialize all that learning on your work performance. Good one!
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
