When the CEO of the most valuable company in the world makes statements that
encourages overtime over health he provides a terrible role model for all those
other CEOs out there who will turn to their employees and use it to justify
working overtime. This is sickening! >

Especially younger and less experienced employees, and those with less power in
these organizations are prone to fall for these arguments.
They will put their life goals behind those of the company they work for, in
order to run after this tale that if immense pain is endured, massive gains are
inevitable. The mindfuck is that there is always more to do. It never ends, and
CEOs know how to exploit this perfectly.
I see it as a responsibility to point this out to younger and less experienced
colleagues whenever I notice it. Companies don't love you, so don't take their
demand for your skills as love.
Ever wonder why you rarely hear about the opposite side? Companies paying
employees more? "We workers are so grateful for the paid 4-day-weekends where we
got to go to the beaches with our 6 year olds."
