Perspective from one pushing-back tech worker:

-Never seen a manager scream. Note that anyone who does so is bad at their job; and won't last long unless if anyone else wants it.

-Workers commonly take multi-month parental leave breaks; block off afternoons for a kid's event, etc.

-I don't know anyone who works 100 hours a week; and if I did I would think them a fool. And also help them; as this is unsafe and they need some more sleep!

I understand that other gigs, especially perhaps in Gaming, are different! And workers of course have the right to freely associate, and so collectively bargain, if they choose to.
