"Work-life balance is not the startup game," Hoffman said. He emphasized that the intense nature of startups requires sacrifices, often resulting in employees working late and during weekends.
Hoffman noted, "The people who think it's toxic don't understand the toughness of the startup game, and they're just wrong." This highlights the necessity of intensity in startup culture for success.
"We served dinner at the office at PayPal, and that was a deliberate thing," Hoffman mentioned, indicating the common practice of long hours in the startup environment.
Hoffman pointed out that true work-life balance can only occur in either a super-small startup or when a startup has significantly outpaced its competitors.
