The grind is constant, unsustainable, and absolutely intentional. Boundaries are treated as character flaws and burnout is celebrated as dedication by the people at the top who aren't actually doing the work. Raise concerns about the crushing workload? You're not a team player. Need reasonable timelines? You lack passion. Ask for basic respect? You don't understand the vision. Zero accountability, no self awareness and little willingness to change. Just the same destructive cycle on repeat while they congratulate themselves.
