...it's that they've somehow moved that founders mindset bullshit on to straight salary W-2 employees.
If you're a business / corporation owner...starting your own business...by all means, work 75-80-90 hours a week. If you're collecting a salary, why the fuck are you working 80 hour weeks? Why are you devoiding your life of friends, family, hobbies, enjoyment...so that some actual founder can flip his business in 4 years and your new owners can make you redundant?
