I don't think we should continue perpetuating the idea you are required to work more compared to other jobs. If you are a founder, it's because you are motivated, I do not expect my people to work them selves to death like I do.

How I see this as a boss can depend on what you are doing. Certainly I would not appreciate competitive output. My personal take is usually to see a motivated self learner, and if they make that into something and want to go start a company like I did, fucking awesome! I hope that most of my employees do this at some point. Thing is, if you are all cool about it, the relationships grow and you can still work to make the world a better place together, with more people and resources.
