The best thing about 11 hour days at a startup is that you have absolutely no time be distracted by applying for other jobs! The worst part is that, by Thursda

The best thing about 11 hour days at a startup is that you have absolutely no time be distracted by applying for other jobs! The worst part is that, by Thursday afternoon, you are afraid to touch your good early-week code with your wrecked head and retarded fingers. I worked those, with a twenty minute lunch break, for 7 months, for not shitty pay but not good pay. At the end, we were asked to work for no salary, after everybody got super shitty performance reviews. We asked for stock and the CEO flipped. I quit, and asked him for my back wages, and he threatened to sue me for libel if I said they were owed. I lodged a court case and he back paid me.
