[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I observed employees at the old [b]MCI Communications working 100 hour weeks. They all did. Flip side of the coin is a lot of those employees walked away with a cool financial reward for all their hard work. [/b]

I also observed employees in another company work very hard to help the owners get their start-up publishing house off the ground. Employees were mostly women. They even took work home on weekends and enlisted their family to get the work done (for free of course). Mostly nice people who were happy to help the owner. How did the owner repay them? Owner fired all of them a decade later, out on their ear with a couple of week's severance pay. Then they were replaced with younger and cheaper employees. True story.[/quote]

MCI got bought by WorldCom. Alot of MCI employees got laid off during the merger. My father was one of them. They did get decent bonuses under MCI but I'm hard press to believe they were working 100 hours a week.[/quote]

Um, ask your dad what kind of hours employees did (maybe not all of them?). If I recall correctly it was intense. I had college friends who worked there.[/quote]
