I just don't get it at all. Just this morning I quit a job partly because of the hilarious hours and how inflexible our executive team was about them. It's like there's some sort of shame in working a normal workday, eating dinner at a normal hour and having your own life. I really vow to never put my health and well being on the line for a job where if we hit the jackpot I might get like 50 k and every other time I will get nothing.
Its one thing if you're a founder and want to spend all your waking hours pursing your dream, but a hiring strategy of "I will only hire people who want to work slave hours on my project for 1/50000th of my equity", is just no.
- ripter 13y agoWhen looking for a job, find out how many people in management have kids. They are likely to work normal hours and not expect you to work insane hours. At least that's been my experience.

- grecy 13y ago> It's like there's some sort of shame in working a normal workday, eating dinner at a normal hour and having your own life. Agree 100%. At my company I'm constantly being told I must work overtime, weekends, be on-call with a company cell phone etc. When I say no, people all over the company start directly telling me I'm not committed enough to the company, and I'm not "opening doors" for myself. I work my butt off for 35-40 hours per week, and get tons done. That's more than enough.
