Exactly! A lot of times companies say they have an excellent work/life balance, but that's just the HR and Marketing teams that come in at 10 and leave at 4. Meanwhile IT is being worked overtime and development teams are on deadline crunches working weekends and holidays. Sales people (the good ones anyways) are used to that kind of schedule. At least that's been my experience at large corporations and even some startups.

My company sent out a memo this week letting us know that they value our work-life balance, which is why they now allow us to pick one of two 8-hour shifts: 7-4 or 8-6.

Also no work-from-home, because we're a family, and you can't be a family remotely. Happy holidays!

8-6 seems to be ten hours?

Or one product team is doing fine but another is severely overworked, because the current highest-priority requirements are bearing down on them in particular.

In my experience, it is the overworked teams that are the ones hiring. They need more people to do work, and overworked teams have higher attrition. This is even if you don't have a bad persistent problem (bad manager/toxic environment). Functional, stable teams usually don't add people once they are full and people don't leave often.
