I’ve worked two days straight before, and I’ve seen people put insane hours, BUT for a prolonged period? No, and more importantly, I find it hard to believe anyone to be a competent employee/worker for 18 hours straight every day. It takes a huge toll on you. Although, the tech industry has a dirty little drug secret…

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.

Totally agree. I worked 12/14 hour days for maybe a year and I ended up with mono and eventually passed out at a client event. There are all sorts of industries where people pretend that they are working hard but really, they are wasting vast amounts of time at work. Anything where you really are working that hard…

nothing wrong if you do it for a few years knowing that it will mean that you not only will you never have to work again but neither will the people you care about...

The Silicon Valley types love to self fellate themselves into this delusion that because they work harder than everyone they deserve more than everyone even though they just tick away at a computer keyboard while their wage slaves in China use nerve destroying chemicals to build bullshit that runs their shitty…

I find it hard to believe someone works 18+ hours a day/7 days a week. And if you do, there is something really wrong with you. I’ve worked a slightly less 12hrs/day for two weeks and I wanted to kill every one in sight by the end.
