What Elon did was brilliant - this way he doesn't have to pay that overly-handsome "get out of my kitchen" payola - or fire more. Let me explain when got out of college and worked on Wall St, we ALL were expected to work til 11pm, somtimes til 2am, taxi home, taxi back, order in from restaurants, eat at our desks, work weekend after weekend, analysts and associates went to the bathroom to cry, then come back and get it done. It made us the best of the best, and I would - many out there who would - put inthe same for Twitter. I will tell you most of their code is crap, and there's zero documentation. That kind of work ethic made America. It does not exist in leftie-land.
That kind of "work ethic" is what leads people to kill themselves. Japan has a real problem with that.
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with hard work, but the work you described is slave labor. As you said, you were expected to do what you did, it was not by choice. This type of work will burn you out, mentally and physically, and lead some to taking their own lives. That's not healthy, but some choose to go that route anywho.
I have been working 50-60 hour work weeks for 15 years now, so don't take what I said as me being a lazy person.
His attitude is very prevalent in the right wing and blue collar spheres, though. Working like a dog is a point of pride and they absolutely will look down on others that don't do it. I remember seeing a discussion on this on ConPro where someone asked on Patriots.win why the left has time to get organized and got buried under answers of people going on about how they work 10, 12, 14 hours a day.
Do you still work on Wall St?
"It made us the best of the best," sez you. At what cost? Not worth it.
Curious, what do you base that on?
