Lowkey, my current gig is like that. There's some crunch here and there, but compared to when I was doing engineering in manufacturing, it's night and day.

Electrical Engineers and other forms of traditional engineering and STEM are going extinct, which is crazy.
If you want someone to blame, blame those old industries because they still don't pay their employees right still put them through old-school "work 55 hours/week" schedules.
People are leaving their own industries to join tech because those industries are still stuck in the 1990's: work hard, grind everyday, all day mentality for chump change mentality.
When those industries decide to make a change, balance will be restored and everybody can chill. Can't blame the tech industry or expect it to change.

This person worked at Boeing, Google, Facebook, etc. and has an actual, real description of the job:
You got to be good af at balancing moving parts, managing egos, communicating, etc. You got to really keep track of where other teams are and adjust your targets and adjust your expectations when teams tell you x, y, z are/are not possible. Many people can chill because they've worked out a good system for themselves that still gets the work done.
I've been a member of engineering teams who have absolutely resented their product teams, while other teams loved their's.
It def. ain't an easy job for people not built that way and it's tougher to break into than software engineering.
Also note how much she gets done and still makes content. People are really driven at those levels.
I wanted to get into it myself coming from engineering, but it seems way too intense. I just want to continue to code and get annoyed enough as is when somebody makes a comment on a ticket I got to answer.

Damn they gotta stop blowing up the spot. 
I will say though we are in a time where we aren't in that agrarian society model where it's "early to bed, early to rise", exchanging your time per hour to produce a product, etc. That was when we were in a world of "atoms" - tangible physical products.
In a world with "bits" you're building and maintaining code, software, etc. It's more about the final product rather than time per hour.
So roles like product manager, operations, engineers, technical sales, etc are different than what most of our parents and grandparents worked in. You're paid to be a specialist. Pretty crazy. I wonder if there will be a shift eventually.

These are the same people that swear up and down black people are lazy and only get "good jobs" because of affirmative action. The whole time these cacs/Asians spend all day eating, playing games and doing bullshyt yet getting paid six figures.
Big facts. Also, she’s dumb for snitching on herself. I’d be using that time constructively to make more bread or to advance myself in some way.

Anybody mad at this probably isnt working corporate. The most work I ever did was serving food. Every white collar gig has required way more self-motivation because the workloads are not that strenuous. Yea it comes with bullshyt but if you prioritize your time right, your day can very much look like this.
Log on 15 minutes late, do 30 minutes of work, watch the news until my stand up, browse The Coli, take a nap, Jack off, eat lunch, Jack off again, log off@Obreh Winfrey what's your week been like
