As they very well should.

If startup founders want to work extra - let them. But when they create a culture where they expect everyone to give the same extreme amount of sacrifice and work while they stand to gain only a fraction of what those who own the capital or have power in running the companies will gain - that is something that should be fought against as vigorously as possible on every level of society - culture, law etc.

So I applaud this "virtue signaling" and call it common sense.

Why? Other people who also want to work hard exist. If that particular startup or culture is not for you then you should leave, but don't tell everyone else what to do.

Wait but what if the founder believes that long hours do in fact get you ahead? What if that is part of what they actually did to get where they are today? Should they lie about it?
