They say this like EVERYONE is working 60 hours, like some kind of… reverse strawman? Weird statement to make.
NO ONE should have to work 60 hours to meet those goals.
Is it pretty common for people to work 60 hours to pay the bills? I’m not disagreeing with you — no one should have to work that much — i’m just saying the way they worded it as if “we all work 60 hours” seems strange, but maybe i’m just ignorant and the odd one out.
I'd say yeah because even if you make enough money to live comfortably(100k usd), the type of jobs that are employing you at that rate are going to squeeze every dollar value out of you. I've been doing 60+ hour weeks for about two years now thanks to my first six figure job.
