Can only agree. Was working 70h a week on average I think. I had multiple several weeks at 90h in succession. Became central to the team because I was fixing everything around me. Yet they would see me as extremely disorganized and unfocused (which was just the result of the immense load that was put on me). They set up control procedures on me (which I think were illegal) with absolutely no respect for my work-hours for the sake of treating everyone on the team according to the same standard. People who earned almost twice as much and worked twice as less and who were supposed to be my peers (lean management) also offloaded part of their work onto me and and bragued about how it wasn't about the number of hours you'd pour in but to get the job done. I left. 2 months after a colleague told me that "velocity" was the new word the managers had in their mouth. 6 month later I got a call from another colleague telling me he was about to leave as well and now wanted to punch another guy. What's funny is that I want to punch them both because they used me as a terrain for a proxy war (I don't really want to punch them, but when I heard those words it made my day and I'm still giggling as I'm writing this). I was also told that the persons who replaced us took 6 months to build something that would have taken us 2 weeks. They recently started an overtime hours program with the company's employees. I left. I left. Edit: I'm somehow considering a blue colar job.
