Notes
- Kielhorn 2009
gollark: That does sound pretty bad. Although I'd assume it's pretty location-dependent, not sure if it's like that here.
gollark: It sounds like a really bad work culture which is going to generate horrible burnout.
gollark: I have heard about that in startups and stuff. It's worrying.
gollark: One somewhat convincing theory about that is that they just signal that you have some baseline level of sanity, conformity, ability to stick to things for a few years, etc.
gollark: *Hopefully* degrees and stuff are about somewhat more than just status?
