Hot take: If you're not willing to work unpaid overtime in entertainment, you're not “unmotivated”, you just value your life. I used to pull 14-hour days regularly, skipping meals and answering emails at 1AM to “prove myself.” But now that I’ve set boundaries, people treat me like I’ve lost my edge. Why is burnout still glamorized like it’s some kind of loyalty test? Can we stop pretending that being overworked means being better?

Cisco

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
