Ive only ever heard from third parties that spaceX sucks to work for because they way over work you. Idk if thats actually true. But this kind of thing makes me wonder…
That's the genious behind musk, overwork people 10%, gain 10%!!!!
I've heard the same. I'm sure it certainly doesn't help, but I think also what they're trying to do is really difficult
Fairly sure they "saved" hundreds of thousands in wages only to lose millions to billions in material. An engineer working 80 hour weeks month after month isn't nearly going to be as productive as one doing 40hr weeks, no matter how many hours they put out. There's actually a point where it turns negative and every extra hour put in detracts from output, not to mention long-time wellbeing and development.
