No one is talking about limiting high ranking employers/founders to 8 hours. They should work as much as they want because their efforts directly lead to financial gain for themselves (due to large stock holdings, etc).
The problem comes when the bottom of the barrel people are working those same hours. Working 80 hour weeks doesn't really help them unless they really like doing it. Some people legitimately like work. That's great. They shouldn't set the bar, though.
- AndrewKemendo 11y agoThis is exactly the point though, don't hire "bottom of the barrel people" into such an organization. They should be working someplace where they can comfortably be marginally talented.

The corollary of this, in a startup, would be don't expect great employees to work 10+ hours a day for 0.5%. If you expect people to put in that same level of effort, compensate them to the same degree. Meanwhile those of us who've already been through that meat grinder will be enjoying our 9-5 and large salary, regardless your baseless slight about being "marginally talented."

Can't agree with this enough - it's the same reason Special Operators get a shitload of incentive/hazard duty pay and signing bonuses. Meanwhile those of us who've already been through that meat grinder will be enjoying our 9-5 and large salary, regardless your baseless slight about being "marginally talented." I was simply responding to the OP's "Bottom of the barrel" comment.
