"9-9-6 culture" listed as an advantage.

Sometimes I wonder if these people read back what they just wrote and think about how some of these statements look. If you do 9-9-6 for 3 months because otherwise your company will go bankrupt, then fair enough, desperate times call for desperate measures... but if it's a "company culture", then you're a fucking exploitative scumbag, plain and simple.

You see a lot of devs complaining about "crunch time" in the games industry, they're very vocal about that, and while I understand that's an issue too, people (and by people I mean serious journalists) need to focus on Elon because this shit has gone unchecked for way too long and affects vastly more workers given the size of his companies.

How do people with elderly parents, or young kids or other responsibilities outside of work deal with such awful schedules?

Oh wow. I seriously considered working at comma (the company I believe George Hotz is referencing in that post) once. After reading "[Elon Musk] […] had all the same ideas as me", I feel like I dodged a bullet.

Yet these leaders sit on Twitter all day engaging in petty nonsense, but demand 12 hr days from workers. How productive are they during those 12 hrs?
