[SpicyLemonZest]

If you're running a company where engineers do work long and hard, you have to make a conscious effort to hire people who are fulfilled by that, or you're sure to see the dysfunctions arise. I'd agree that hiring for passion can't fix things once they're broken.

Why are you running organization where long term crunch is required and norm? What is primary motivation for having crunch as goal?

This begs the question, though. How many people realistically enjoy being worked long and hard?

I highly doubt that's a large number.

Also, the most qualified people for such a job are not going to need to work long and hard so will likely be turned off by the position description.
