#2Some good points! I believe that CEOs should focus on the well-being of employees for a long-term growth story together.

#3Most people who glorify 70+ hour weeks don’t work those hours and never have. Think about what that means in terms of neglecting other things.

Don't you think that a decent salary and a good work-life balance are also important and play an important role? It is not just about hours.

#5A good one! Appreciated the links that showed CEOs actually discussing such a schedule. I, personally, find this ridiculous. A simple math:
70 / 5 = 14 hours per day if 5 days
70 / 6 = 11,7 h/d
70 / 7 = 10 h/d
90 / 5 = 18 h/d
90 / 6 = 15 h/d
90 / 7 = 12,9 h/d
If we add 6-9 hours of sleep on top of that, and 1-2 hours of commute (I’d not be surprised if same CEOs forbid WFH), we are running out of hours per day. So, no time for anything rather than working. And for what? Sounds very dystopian.
