It's just how I was raised... My boss comes to me the other day and is like, "your dedication and willingness to work so hard shows your passion for the company." Not sure he liked my response...

Yup. I'm the same way.
Very rarely is it appreciated however.

yeah but it doesn't matter.. i tell my boss to fuck off all the time and i get the biggest raise of anyone in the company.. when you work hard and you are valuable you have two choices - be a pussy ass kiss motherfucker who sucks cock all day or stand up for yourself and tell them listen motherfucker i make you millions of dollars every year if you fuck with me i am going to take my talent and dedication elsewhere most likely the competition and you will get the fucking of your life.. its up to you - fucking pay me and shut the fuck up or i'm out.. simple as that.. i have been to HR more times than everyone in the company combined.. fuck em.. people get offended people get upset - oh fucking well.. i do whatever it takes to get my job done and if that means hurting someone's delicate little feelings so be it..

The way our structure is it doesn't really matter... It's all numbers. You get the numbers, you get the money. I get the numbers, I get the money... unfortunately it's just shitty money on top of shitty money...

If you had to work this way for your whole life, you wouldn't make it. It's not physically possible. You'd be dead by 40. Maybe there are a couple jobs out there like this, but they would need to pay like 20 times as much as my stipend, or no one would do them.

The least I ever work is about 65 hours a week. It's been up near 100 during a couple critical times.
