If you have sufficient equity upside, it’s not unreasonable to put in “extra” time to grow the company.

Agreed if you have real equity ownership (at which point you're not really a worker). Some stock options isn't the same thing.

It's definitely not unreasonable, but nor is /not/ growing the business in order to control one's own working hours.

And in general, if growth is dependent on this, then there is no plan and you should value the equity accordingly.
