My manager told me that he works on weekends and also more than 10 hours on weekdays as 10 hours is never enough for anyone. He suggested the same for me in order to have success. What do you all think about this?
Is this a red flag?
EDIT BASED ON SOME QUESTIONS ASKED: This is still a startup but it's not like we're in our seed round with 15 employees. We have 400 employees and have received our series C. No, I'm not being compensated more for working weekends or outside the normal business hours to cover the territory I cover.
Baring that type of scenario- fuck that. I also noticed you used 'manager' not leader. I have no respect for anyone that's pushing their team to work on the weekends 'just because'.
I'm curious what he's actually doing, he's not speaking to clients, so what is he filling his time with? Or is this just a self-filling prophecy that he's badass and his brand is the workaholic?
I've seen these types and I just have no regard for it, I think they are bad leaders. Mind you, when necessary I have logged a few hours when I needed too, ie early sales pitch monday morning and you didnt get the pitch done last week type stuff. It's a job, if you're paid well there may be times when you need to put in the extra time on 'your' time. But I'm very anti this mentality of peer pressure to all sacrifice your life for the company.
Just my 2cents. Good Luck!
