My experience here is that the community is somewhat schizophrenic on work - anything that smell of old school hierarchical structures, fixed hours, clear preference for onsite over remote work etc are evil - but at the same time, if you work a single minute more than 40 hours a week without overtime pay, you're being exploited. If you have a work laptop or cell-phone, it's a trick to make you work more, for free - not blatantly obvious tools to enable remote work which further enables flexibility. If there's free food or showers, it's a trick to make you work more, for free. If there are social events or people otherwise claim to "enjoy work", it's a trick - they've obviously drunk the Kool-aid. Mandatory beer pong! I think a lot of people here are very keen on experimenting quite radically with what work itself looks like. Like all experiments, they are not for everyone, and nobody expects any single radical experiment to just stumble upon the final answer to work, but they may learn a thing or two that the rest of us can benefit from.
