I'll never understand either. Unless you are on call and getting paid, why work after hours? But I think zoomers are being told to work as much as possible so you can retire at 40 but you should be having a good time in your 20s or you will feel really unfulfilled at 40.

Not just zoomers falling for hustle shit but just people with no backbone who don't get say anything or get pissy when getting overworked or having to do more hours. Basically managers become just bullies either intentionally or not to the kitty employee

when i worked for a big multimillion dollar VC moneypit app company in the UK/EU a few years ago, the only thing I ever got told off for was for offhandedly raising the possibility that i might be able to work late to finish something. i got taken aside by my (french) team lead and told never to do that again, especially not in front of the juniors. meanwhile if you wanted to get ahead you could work late of your own volition and the company would reward you for it.
the US does have insane pay but the conditions are also insane

If people start working overtime because they're late on a project, it's just gonna hide from management the fact that the team is lacking in manpower. The day these guys leave, all of a sudden the whole team is falling behind.
It's especially bad because labor costs are really high here and employers are already reluctant to hire new folks. If you give them any reason not to, they won't.
It can be necessary from time to time but overall, if it can't be done working normal hours, then it just means you need more people. Asking people to work overtime is not a fix, it's just gonna lead to more stress, more burnouts, less productivity and people leaving - the exact opposite from what you want.

I work this much in a job that involves traveling around and wrangling wagies.
Its worse during the holidays because the corpos start showing up randomly and trying to get me on shit so i have to play defense in like 6 stores because theyre r-slurred.
I worked 22 days straight leading up to easter lol.
I cant imagine killing myself over it.
Its definitely awful and I want to move up as soon as possible.
Sadly the district im in is headed by a hyper competitve adderall addict and he keeps us in a constant state of war against corporate.
He challenges everything and dunks on them constantly. Hes also almost invariably right so i guess it works out
I knew i was in for a wild ride when he interviewed me and kept randomly saying "im not even talking about integrity" which i took as him telling me to be as shady as possible

Oh I hate that campus. They have a faux-sushi bar setup in the cafeteria so you get super excited to eat sushi but then you get stopped and see the menu is like "vegetarian sushi" and not actual sushi and they make you commit to a sign-up sheet and come in at your appointed time and can't just waltz in even though its in the middle of the cafeteria and the most eye-grabbing thing in that shitty cafeteria so you just settle on something gay like a salmon bagel where the salmon is unseasoned and then you just walk around like an butthole with rapidly warming salmon looking for a fricking table to sit at to eat your goyslop, and you can't find a spot because its so crowded so you have to go outside and look for an outside table except all the fricking Jeets aren't doing work and just hogging the tables so you just go back to your office to eat and just look down at all those fricking worker drones and wonder how much force it would take to break a window on the 10th floor so you can yeet yourself out the window and hopefully land on those frickers clogging up all the tables and not working because you had the misfortune to go Mathilda that day and just wish you were back in the hustle and bustle of Googleplex and their gay famous women of science building where they at least have mayo gentrified taco bowls or get a goyslop burger at Charlies and stare at the T-rex skeleton in the quad and get annoyed at all the fricking children and foreign tourists clogging up Googleplex.

Maybe because they naively signed up due to Google's (now retired?) "don't be evil" moniker, then realized the majority of their workload involved facilitating the propagation of evil. That's gotta cause at least some cognitive dissonance.
