@phredmoyer @samhenrigold Some companies really struggle to find people willing to put in 60-hour weeks on purpose.
I once worked at a consulting firm that swore 50-hour weeks were industry standard and not just in terms of raw time spent, but categorized and indexed into 15-minute units with a "percent productive" measurement of 90% or higher.
I once had a performance review at 9 PM. I pointed out that every single person except for the accountant was still working hard there on a Wednesday night instead of being home with their families, and they shouldn't have to make that a regular thing.
I lasted 18 months.
