"When you go to the Valley now, and when you go to China now, they are working seven days a week in the fastest-growing companies," says 20VC founder Harry Stebbings.
I work from home and with my family, and I love what I do (it is my hobby). I don’t ask our staff to work this much and I don’t communicate with them outside of business hours (or after 2pm on a Friday). So, I’m not sure why this is wrong.
I didn’t say anyone was forcing you to do it, I just find it disgusting that we’ve normalized hours like that to the point where it’s talked about like it’s on the low side. “Only 60/week”
I’m glad you can work for yourself, but the overwhelming majority of people who work 60hrs+ are not doing it by choice, and it consumes their waking life.
OK, then don’t… I’m talking more about the society we live in, in general, where people would preface “60 hours/week” with the word “only.” Reading shit like that makes me super sad.
You do realize that this is a lot of fucking hours to work per week, right? We need to stop normalizing this shit.

But it is normal for me and I don’t think I should feel bad about it.

It’s a societal problem, not a you problem.
