I believe requiring 10 hour work days are 1. unnecessary and 2. immoral.

10 hour work days IS outrageous. Maybe it's common in this industry, but that doesn't make it any less wrong.

And considering that most tech jobs are exempt, this is just a way of getting you to work more hours for the same amount of pay.

During the last century, we all agreed that a 40 hour work week was the standard. Let's keep it that way. I don't want founders and VC creeps prying the overton window in their favor.

If the job is interesting, i don't care 8-14 hours a day. Its all about focus and dedication, well for me it is.
Do your relationships not suffer? My wife would be unhappy with me (and I would be as well) if I only came home to eat and sleep.
