So I see she’s already had some coffee.

Agreed. This level of dedication is appropriate in a researcher who’s trying to cure his own child’s cancer, not appropriate in a money-making entity at all.

When people are young and have no other responsibilities other than you ambition, this kind of schedule makes sense. The moment a person gets married and have kids, they should take precedence over the job.

Unless you are working on curing cancer, nothing is worth these hours. I don’t care if it’s your number one passion, it still makes you a screwed up individual with no sense of balance.

Absolutely not. This becomes like hazing rituals. It’s something no one would subject themselves if they sat down and thought about it. But once you’ve gone through it then it’s a badge of honor because you did something that was probably unnecessary.
