I had this job that thought you were stealing from them if you got more than 90 minutes sleep a night they would literally call the engineers 7 days a week at 3am to make sure we were not "slipping up" by getting sleep worst job of my life absolutely illegal labor practice as well imagine having to work 140 hours to keep getting paid for 40.
- rcfox 7y agoUnless this job was a study on sleep deprivation, how could they possibly believe they had the right to do this?

- api 7y agoWhat industry was this and where? There are some industries (architecture, design, medicine are some that come to mind) where sleep deprivation is viewed as a macho badge of honor and there's this culture of showing off extreme workaholism. Of course this is not efficient work due to cognitive impairment and burnout, but it's more of a macho / hazing thing.
