> Overscheduling and underscheduling happen all the time. Things catch on fire. You have to work accordingly. You need more predictability than that in most things. Even start ups. The picture you are painting is of a badly organized company that needs to slow down a bit and ... think. I have worked for that kind of company and the more boring sort. The more boring sort tends to make more profit. Startups might be different, but it must be intentful chaos - not getting caught up in pointless busywork. > Some days you can stop early. Rarely. The only companies that allow that are probably the ones that made you do a 24h stint the day before.
