If the moral system which you currently subscribe to is such that it is morally okay and perhaps even virtuous to demand that people who have voluntarily chosen to work together at higher level of work ethic should all be forced to lower their standards to be in accordance with your personal beliefs, then this moral judgement is valid. But you should seriously consider questioning that belief. People who voluntarily choose to work insane hours in Elon's companies are contributing an insane amount of value to this world and I for one am grateful for their sacrifices and contributions.
- taakd 8y agoFraming this as though employees have total freedom and choice wrt employer and working hours is plain incorrect. Those engineers at SpaceX aren't organized, thus they get screwed out of overtime and can't talk about the houra and working conditions they are pressured to labor under.
- toasterlovin 8y agoThey’re extremely intelligent and hardworking engineers; they can just get a job somewhere else.
- anon_spx 8y agoI'm one of those SpaceX engineers, and I do feel that I have almost complete freedom to get another job at any time if I didn't want to work here or was unhappy about compensation. Your assumptions are wrong. There's no scandal about the working conditions at SpaceX. Me and every SpaceX engineer I know are happy. Move on.
