I'd be the second if they told me that. Places like that, with their "live to work" culture are always shitshows.

  i've worked 100 hours for a year at a time. thats not living to work. that's being a useless zombie nothing quite stings like being woken up from sleeping underneath your desk at 8 am, not having left the office for a week and smelling like a rabid dog and being told that your level of commitment is disappointing.

    I'm sorry to hear this. Was this for a company? If you can say, love to know which one so I know to never apply or recommend them. I really can only do around 5-7 hours of solid productive programming a day. Otherwise my brain gets fried and quality, innovation, and speed diminish. I've done three bootstrapped startups (none ever raised VC capital), and while I usually work every day of the week, it is typically 4-10 hours a day.

    Wow. I couldn't imagine that, especially under that stress I think I'd explode.
