Devon, a Google software engineer, told Fortune he works one-hour days at his job.
For the rest of the day, he works on his startup, he told Fortune.
Devon told Fortune he couldn't justify working hard when he saw colleagues working late nights without moving up the corporate ladder.
"It's not like you'd really get promoted for going above and beyond," Devon told Fortune.
"If I wanted to work long hours, I'd be at a startup," Devon told Fortune.
