> If you have a position that requires 40hrs/wk or less and no work on weekends whatsoever, consider yourself lucky.

That's backwards. If you have a position that requires over 40hrs/wk, or any weekend work without overtime pay, consider yourself exploited (and if you're doing it without it being required, consider yourself a scab). Join a union, quit that job, or both.

If you have sufficient equity upside, it’s not unreasonable to put in “extra” time to grow the company.

Agreed if you have real equity ownership (at which point you're not really a worker). Some stock options isn't the same thing.

It's definitely not unreasonable, but nor is /not/ growing the business in order to control one's own working hours.

And in general, if growth is dependent on this, then there is no plan and you should value the equity accordingly.
