I couldn't agree more. Sometimes it is the fault of the worker, but unless that worker is an executive, this is almost always the fault of management. I have occasionally worked more than 40 hours because something was engrossing, but this is unusual as I know when to stop. In almost every single case of working more hours it was because of bad management. Unfortunately, a lot of these management decisions are do or get fired and I have left many a job because of it, usually to my detriment.
The other problem is that somehow people want to make an exception for their startup. Their startup is special. Their startup won't suffer from these problems. As if their startup has found a way to make humans efficient and healthy without sleep. Please. That kind of thinking (I'm staring at a comment right now) is exactly what leads to this kind of mess. Where does the 40 hours a week come from? Years of experience by both workers and their managers and executives.
Why then are executives nowadays so clueless, especially the ones at startups?
