Apple's Phil Schiller Works 80 Hours a Week Overseeing App Store (www.macrumors.com)

Though Schiller transitioned from marketing chief to "Apple Fellow" in 2020 to take a step back from Apple and spend more time on personal projects and friends, he is reportedly working close to 80 hours a week.

Schiller is known for responding to emails almost immediately, and answering phone calls at all hours. He testified during the Epic v. Apple lawsuit to ardently defend the ‌App Store‌, and he is involved in Apple's EU messaging as well. Schiller joined in on Apple PR calls with members of the media when the iOS 17.4 changes were announced, and he spent time explaining how the DMA will impact user privacy and security in Europe.

Anyone who works that much, or at least that much not for themselves, is a fucking loser

Work smarter, not harder. Hire quality people underneath you who you can rely on to perform, so that you aren’t having to do all the work.

Talking about working 80 hours a week isn’t the brag you think it is. It means something is systemically wrong.
