It’s the same everywhere. ICs are expected to work themselves to death meanwhile the manager/executive class gets paid. The definition of what’s “normal” work has been shifting for years.
Personally I’m just curious to see what happens when everyone just gives up. People already feel working hard no longer leads to a better life.

Will the management class learn?
- dheera 2y ago> People already feel working hard no longer leads to a better life. For me, it's not just a feeling; objectively, it doesn't. I tried working hard. As a PhD student, as a founder. I had my 1st cardiac arrest the week after my graduation and my 3rd cardiac arrest during the height of startup stress. After that all I can say is that I'd rather have a life than my life lost. Fuck working hard. Work smart, work healthy, get a reasonable amount of shit done, but take care of yourself, your family, and your friends and enjoy everything the Earth has to offer before you die.
