A recent hire at one of the largest US companies has shared on Reddit their surprise at the demanding work culture, which extends from early mornings to late nights. The employee, who prefers to start work upon arriving at the office, says colleagues are already sending emails and Slack messages as early as 6–7am.

“It feels like I’m the odd one out for not being ‘on’ before the day even begins,” the employee wrote. The work culture continues late into the night, with team members sending messages around 9–11pm. “It’s honestly stressing me out. I’m not as enthusiastic about the job as they seem to be, but I also feel pressure to keep up so I don’t end up with bad performance reviews or even risk being laid off,” they added.
