" typically, SpaceX employees work a minimum 50 hour week" yehaa.. just sleep in the office!

  Hah, I don't even think that would be legal where I live. I'm used to employers having to pay for every hour a person works. People can work overtime for free, but the business can't force them to. It sounds like spacex is quassi forcing them to work more hours than they are being compensated for.

    For highly skilled people you generally have lots of options, it's very difficult for a company to require 50 hour weeks without paying a salary higher than a company that requires 40 hour weeks.

      "Oh but you're working with cool stuff! And you have a foosball table and free lunch"
      • fleitz 12y ago
        Well... then you're more interested in cool stuff, foosball tables and free lunch than cold hard cash, but again, for highly skilled people there are many companies willing to offer boatloads of cash for those that can figure out how to do their own laundry, and buy their own sodas.

  That's a light workload by farming standards.
