Sniff test, nothing. This is absolutely ludicrous. 20 hour work-days (9am->5am) for months straight??? Gimme a break. You'd be hallucinating on the second week.
For the life of me I don't understand how this humble-brag is repeated year after year by people.
- skuhn 11y agoAn occasional 100 hour work week is tough but do-able. Claiming an entire team got an average of 2 hours of sleep a night for months (meaning that some on the team got even less than that) is outright preposterous. It also reeks of "powering through" machismo and I don't believe it happened quite like that. If it did happen though, that is a total failure of leadership. Not only were these people being tormented, they were a danger to themselves and others just driving in to the office every day. Unless the fate of the entire human race relied on the success of their project, everyone involved should have given this ultimatum on the second week of this ordeal: reschedule the project to realistic goals or cancel it entirely, or I quit.
- Evolved 11y agoWe've all heard it and done the collective eye roll when people tell us this. Then there's the equally nausea-inducing douche who claims to work less than 40 hours a week and still pull down a healthy six-figure salary, etc.
