Why do you think that just the amount of hours worked per week dictate how successful a whole company is? You are focusing on one very basic metric to derive a very complex conclusion...
- itake 2y agoMaybe it’s survivorship bias, but why do most famous tech and finance companies have this trait in common?
- hungie 2y agoGoogle doesn't? Heck, I worked at Amazon, and never more than 40 hours. I don't think it's axiomatic.
- piva00 2y agoI think it's your bias through third hand accounts instead of reality, have you ever worked at any of the famous tech companies? Finance is a completely different beast, and even there many of the big ones don't overwork their employees with 60+ hours/week.
- itake 2y agoI have family that work at Apple and Amazon. Both Apple family say its a grind (especially with frequent multi-week trips to china). The amazon family member says it depends on which team you're on. All these tech companies are RTO, on-call schedules, and "high seasons" (Prime Day, product release days, etc.).
