Startups and 6 day Work week 😂- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

is it like an unknown fact that all successful startups had 6 had days working week initially, because then why are all early stage startups these days have a 6 day work week. 

If you want…you can do 6 days work in 5

why 6 days work week

Product Manager

hey guys, I'm interviewing at a startup currently and they are asking me if I can work 6 days a week for a couple of months initially till the Product goes live. 
how do I respond to this? I want to take the offer but the 6 day work week is what pulling me back from accepting the offer.

6 day work week normal at Startups?

It’ll never be for a couple of months only :)

Hi All, 
I think with funding winter, the work culture in Bangalore Startups is becoming toxic day by day. In my company, it started with filling the daily time sheet of what work we did, then why do we need work from home( Company gives 4wfh/month), then a circular came today that every data filled in timesheet will be minutely checked with card punches, can't be late even for 5 minutes more than 3 times a month. The hypocrisy part is employees are underpaid(5-6 LPA for software developer) and overworked(9+ hrs/day).
I got to know one more startup where they have normalised 12hrs/day 6 days a week working and if you work less, it will affect negatively. They force their employees to reside nearby to the office so they can work till 12-2am from 10.30am.

Is it common everywhere?

It’s should and will always be about how productive those hours actually are. 

You see, no knowledge worker puts out more than 2.5 to 5 hours of real work in a day. That’s 12.5 to 25 hours of productive work in a week. The rest? It’s just meetings, updates and moving things around.

Five-day work weeks? If you’re measuring by butts in seats, sure. But if you’re looking at actual output, it’s a joke. We need to obsess over productive time, not clocking hours. The attendance/week hours mindset is a pseudo-metric killing the workforce, making us focus on quantity over quality.

Think about it: As a knowledge worker - your days are filled with meetings, status updates, and email threads. How much of that is real, impactful work? Very little. We’re stuck in busyness, mistaking it for productivity. But then again, if orgs obsess on outcomes only, employees will call them out: 'You don’t see my effort to go from A to Z, you don’t acknowledge it.' Hence, orgs measure you by hours. And for those thinking, 'Pay me by hours, overtime factored in' – great on paper, but useless for knowledge workers.

IMHO, we are way more more comfortable measuring by hours than outcomes.
We rave about deep work, about focus hours, but in reality we laude how long someone stays logged in. 

Weird isn't it.

The real debate isnt / wasnt about how long the work week should be (70/60/50/40).

Is it common now to work 9x6 hours/week?
I’ll be pursuing a course simultaneously, should I incorporate according to that or search for 5 day work week?
Can you list companies working 5 days/week?

Startups life. No sleep, late nights, weekends, no Diwali holidays, not seeing your family for years, unethical Founders,  difficulty to build trust with friends and ex colleagues after you moved to startups,  what has been your story.
