> Think 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. workdays. Very little vacation. Missed birthday parties and weddings.
This is such a bad idea. I hope this startup idea of unhealthy work-life goes away soon. If you're a founder or have a crushing deadline for a big contract then yes, go ahead and do this. But this should never be the day-to-day pressure of any company.
They are fooling themselves that they are accomplishing more this way. A good way to lose your best talent or the abilities of the talented who stay.
