If this guy's employees work 365 days a year, he benefits. I wonder, does he believe in extra compensation for those who go "above and beyond"? Or is he deluded into thinking his business is the most important thing for everyone?

Every "Go go go!" CEO I have worked for that expects >100% input for absolutely no more than 100% compensation. I have had the good fortune to have alternatives and not work for that executive mindset for very long.

PS: Bonuses don't count. They are not direct compensation, and in my experience, more of a gamble.
