A lot of nice feel good answers on this post. But for some of us, too freaking bad if you have to work long hours.

I'm not personally a fan of long hours, but not everyone can work for a LinkedIn. And in many shops, long hours are unavoidable regardless of how much well-intentioned process is in place.




I realize it's rarely this simple, but get a new job if you care. The labour market is a market, and unless you leave, citing whichever of manager incompetence or lack of money is the problem, it won't get fixed because /it doesn't need to be fixed/.


That is a sign of bad planning & bad management.

And software engineers' acquiescence to being abused like that ensures that it will continue.
