This is pretty standard in the US, especially if you don't work in some MegaCorp cog-in-the-machine type of situation.

I think a good percentage of people working their asses off and working 60 hours a week are people who ARE actually successful. I don't blame them for turning work into a hobby.

What? Where are these 8:30-4:30-with-a-nice-long-lunch jobs?

In my experience, smaller (non bigcorp) companies have to fight to survive and don't have these luxuries..

Is it really so unusual for someone with relatively marketable skills to have a standard 8 hour work day with a proper lunch break?
