Techie claims he worked 12 hrs daily but was still fired, says 'It gave me high BP in my 20s'

In a Reddit post, a laid-off techie shared an experience of developing hypertension after months of extreme work stress and job insecurity. He said, "Hustle culture didn’t make me successful. It gave me hypertension in my early 20s." "The company had frequent layoffs, so I worked 12+ hours daily to survive...After four months, I was laid off anyway," he added.
