The charge of being “not a team player” because you don’t want to partake in the stupidity of overwork or exhaustion games is so toxic. Hope @migueldeicaza can help spread his team’s sentiments to the rest of Microsoft. If you work there, have you felt pressured to 40h+?

Why it worked

Ends on a question, which is the most reliable way to turn readers into repliers.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
Opens on a negative, which reads as a warning and is harder to ignore than a claim.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Invitation
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
