Re:On the other hand (Score 1)

As a former employee of a start-up, who had no "stake" in the business start-up mode is awful for moral and for the health of the employees. Often demanding 70+hr work weeks minimum, as a salaried employee. I was actually verbally told the 70hr number once was their expectation. Family life, personal health take a huge toll and on-top of this it was a IT start-up, so often times I was unable to sleep more than 3-hours straight without a call. That basically a recipe for quick burn-out which as the employee is more than just "losing some talent" now its a mental health, physical health and very personal issue that you and your family will have to deal with. Start-up mode is just a way to victimize employee's, unfortunately a vast majority of them personally learn why those environments are so toxic.
