I don't get why you care about the company. Most of the time the sole purpose of existence of that company is making its owners and investors rich. That 100hr probably let them get an important contract, so they got a bit richer, but in return you were given food scraps (some time off). If it was me, I'd approach the owners and said "look, if this shit is so critical for your business, I can spend some extra time and try to fix it, but in return I'll become an LP with a small stake."
- mensetmanusman 6y agoThis is a pretty cynical take. Often, companies provide value in some way to some people in the world. Imagining who those people are and how you are helping them can help provide context to what you are doing.
- akomtu 6y agoAny value they provide is incidental, an annoying necessity they have to put up with. If owners and investors cared about that value, they'd hire more personnel. Instead, they pocket salaries of that unhired personnel and take a free ride on a couple dudes who work 100hr overtime. I'm sure after they signed the contract, they had a nice party where the owner cracked a joke about two losers who did all the work for free.
