Yeah, if someone rejects me for not wanting to work 80 hours a week, I'd be glad. I worked a place where I was working between 50 and 60 hours a week all the time, and it affected my health. I will never do that crap again.
I am honestly surprised to hear people say stuff like this after the pandemic. My perspective post pandemic really changed. The things that are important to me isnt how much I work. Nobody's gonna give a shit that you put in 12 hour days at work when you're on your death bed. Spend time with the people you care about, and work to live. Not the other way around.
This guy (assuming this is real) is the chump, not the person who interviewed.
The interviewee got exactly what they wanted. It's exactly why they mentioned it early in the process.
