      Out of college I interviewed with a company that actively touted its 100-hour-a-week expectation.

      They proudly showed off the sleeping mats stuffed under their desks and talked fervently about the camaraderie born from running the weekly gauntlet.

      The tech was extremely interesting (not games) but the cultish environment creeped me the hell out.

      I didn’t wind up working there obviously but I kept up with them out of morbid curiosity. They were eventually sold to some network appliance company or other. The cult leaders made out like bandits — the dudes with the mattresses not so much.

      Independent of any discussion about reduced productivity, the 100-hour rule at that company was a clear means to building a merchantable mythos. An insidious way to pad the pockets of the founders.

      So despite an understanding of the caustic effects of the 100-hour week, it’s still sometimes touted as “the-one-true-way” by companies and individuals. It makes one wonder what’s truly for sale at these places.

          No need to mention the company’s name, but as a hint this was their logo.pic.twitter.com/HM1Q08PpZF
