Naively when I see a job ad asking for a rockstar programmer I assume there will be a supply of coke :P. Asking for a ninja... well that doesn't seem as much fun.

I had a gig once where the manager pulled us into a meeting and with a straight face told that in order to finish this project on time (really a week early) we were expected to work 12 hour days and be on call. If we got a call and had to respond we were still expected to come in and work the 12 hour shift. I politely raised my hand and with a straight face asked if the company health benefits would include meth-amphetamines.

Hahaha, that's the thing, companies expect employees to do whatever they have to for results. In many ways I feel like professional athletes that do the same by doping should get a pass. It's not an even playing field but at the end of the day everyone wants results.
