It's the company's responsibility to manage effort, staff levels, timelines and overtime compensation. So when you say that it takes more than 9-5, what I hear is that they need more staff, longer time frames for delivery, or to pay higher rates for overtime but instead they're extracting the additional cost for free out of naive 20-something-year-olds who have been brainwashed to think that "being passionate" = working for free.
- mytailorisrich 6y agoThe way I read you comment is that "the company can just spend more" so that everyone can work 9-5. The reality of starting a business, or even running a business in general, is that cash is limited (isn't it always?). It's not about 'working for free', either. It's recognising what the reality is. Working for a startup is a choice and a trade-off. IMHO, wanting to work for a startup but only 9-5 is a little unrealistic.

- olorton 6y agoWhat you describe is a little bit working for free. If you’re not being paid for those hours and you do not have a stake in the business, then you are effectively giving money to the owner.
- crossroadsguy 6y agoThere can be N numbers of reasons for 'why' part, but 'what' part is - working for free.
