>Also - this 40 hour a week thing. It really depends on the industry and the type of work. Certainly working 60 hours consistently will negatively affect most people. It's unrealistic to expect certain positions will only need to work 40 a week at all times - sometimes you have crunch times a company indeed needs "all hands on deck". This IS an area where I wish companies would pay more attention - I see organizations that pay lip service to creeds of "we don't want people to work weekends, we want people to have quality of life" but repeatedly break it. So I understand where Tamar is coming from.
