I think weekends will keep getting cannibalized by work as long as employers provide overtime pay for it in the lower-paying jobs and, in higher-paying jobs, it'll persist due to the culture we've established: want to be successful? Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice. Put work over leisure, be available to handle emergencies. This isn't just true for employees anymore, startup leaders now give up their spare time to succeed. It's better than CEOs who spend time at resorts while employees slave away but it's still not healthy.
Time is limited. To be successful at anything you need to sacrifice time now for your future success.
"startup leaders now give up their spare time to succeed"
I've never been forced to work weekends. The only time I did was when I was swapping hours for days I was taking off as a consultant, and this was by choice.
A startup is different though. Startups are usually fast-paced and you go into it knowing you will be working long hours with the hope of a lottery ticket payout.
