Me and my colleague doing the same thing, both 70 hours sometimes, we've had issues and bugs in code we write, because it's affecting our productivity.

No matter how much we explain to our boss, the founder, it looks like we're complaining. He does not understand you need space and time to do a good job.

I wonder if there're other founders like this, who don't understand or try to empathize with engineers, and they give ridiculous timelines for project completion.

Do very successful founders have some technical background? I wonder, because if he was an engineer, he would know the amount of time it'll take to work on a project and do a good job.

Yeah it really looks like you need a better job. You don't owe anything to the employee.

> who don't understand or try to empathize with engineers, and they give ridiculous timelines for project completion.

I'm sure they are out there. I'm sorry to say but I think the problem is also that people are willing to put that time and effort in. As long as he has people who are still willing to do it, he's gonna make his own interest.

Now, I understand it could happen one time, but if it happens frequently, there is definetly something very wrong about it.

Run away. Don't look back. Be happy.
