This is why burnout is a thing amongst tech workers, especially for Silicon Valley style startups. I also can't understand why some employees would fall for these YC cliches "changing the world", "hustle, work hard play hard", "passionate about our business" but the fact is a lot of people do fall for that. They end up working long hours, for a company that really doesn't do anything remarkable at all, if this company didn't exist no-one would care. Yet their peers and the YC-culture tells them that they should be really passionate about this so when the reality doesn't live up to that people burnout.
