Sure. But it goes both ways...
There are tons of companies who are salty that people won't work 12+ hour work days while getting paid at the rate of bottom quartile 8 hour work days.
Or even worse... companies that talk about being "work life balanced" with "40 hour work weeks" but then when you look at their work loads, they very clearly having expectations that require people working 60+ or even 80+ hours a week while only paying for 40.
In my prior company, the corporate leviathan kept growing, and it got more and more bureaucratic as the days went by. And this is exactly what happened. At first it started with the CEO himself getting lambasted in an all-hands for admitting that people were being benchmarked against 196 hours every month regardless of the number of workdays in that month. A typical month has 20-22 work days, so that's 8.9-9.8 hours per work day. The CEO himself would publicly brag about work life balance, and then went on even later to lambast people for not putting in 16 hour days. No idea what set him down that path, but he ran that company into the fucking ground.
Over the last few years, recruiters are happy to reach out, and then they pitch me these C*O jobs where the overall comp is in the bottom quartile, negligible equity/options, and completely discretionary profit share. The only people signing up for that shit are losers.
