Hrm, thinking through this more, one of those guys from IT, Ryan, a big-hearted (literally) lumberjack of a guy died of congestive heart failure. Then our CEO died on his bicycle a few years back, and there was also a suicide of one of the developers. It was a cursed company.

Oh Jesus! I'm sorry for your losses. I just lost a good friend before his time, as well. It's never easy and the hole just stays there.
Thank you for the VERY frank responses, I appreciate the effort and the time. As a follow-up question, do you think the 100 hour weeks had diminishing returns after what point, if at all? Also, how is the work-life balance in Turkey in general?
Again, my condolences on your losses.
I was the "only" sysadmin when I was at Napster (We had 2 people in desktop support/it, one of whom actually died a few years later. The guy I replaced, Stephen Fountain, was actually shot to death by police). We hired 2 more a week or two before I left. It was a shit-show that I prefer to forget. (I'm also not at all proud of my work there. I was an unprofessional, somewhat incompetent 19 year-old workaholic who worked 100 hours a week and did a half-assed job at everything, which in the end actually was a huge net-negative to the organization, and myself!)
