“What’s it like to work at your company? Is anything beyond 8 hours a Big Exception, or does leaving at 5 PM evoke the ‘working a half-day again?’ crack… In all my various jobs, from independent contractor to start-up employee to one of the thousands at the big monolithic tech company, I’ve worked in every conceivable tech scenario. But the worst are the ones that become slaves to their clients–often driven by the fear of losing one. And fear leads to underbidding. And underbidding leads to… pulling all-nighters to make an impossible deadline on too few resources.”
