Eh, startups are filled with people that are all-in the hustle culture. I am not at all surprised at that.
It's the main reason why I avoid working for startups too. Had a brief stint working for one a decade ago, although they didn't ask me to work weekends, there was this pervasive idea that people had to work more than what was stipulated in their contracts. This was already a big red flag to me.
- marssaxman 2y agoNot all startups, thankfully! Perhaps startups founded by younger and less experienced people are more likely to work that way? The last three startups I've worked for were all founded by experienced people who had sane ideas about management, embracing the marathon-not-a-sprint attitude, and it's been great. I just hit the two-year mark at my current startup job, and it feels like a totally sustainable pace. I hope it continues for years.
