Or, "How to hire people who will slavishly work 100 hours a week for a 40 hour/week wage."

When investors or founders talk about "values", they don't mean the same thing that a normal human being would think.

They mean "doing what I want them to do to make more money."

Let me know if you find that definition in the dictionary.

Sometimes they really do mean it. Not everything is a cynical ploy.

by sometimes if you mean anything more than 0.0001% (gut feeling, from the founders I have come across) then I guess you are misleading. In general, the founders and investors are hellbent to make the employees work 100hr/week for 40hr/week equivalent or even lesser of salary.

For the downvoters: Please provide some evidence in comments to support the downvote. And I guess, they don't have any experience of founders and investers in Asia (China, India) and their exploitative practices. feeling sad.

Don't hire people who won't work themselves to death to line a VCs pocket! Hire the poor misguided mitochondria.
