Yeah it is crazy to hear some people work 60h as the norm and 80h, wtf?
I've done a couple of 50-60h stints in my career for rolling out a big project globally or things like that and I was... absolutely... exhausted and drained.
I couldn't think straight, I was being rude to people I love.
To think that people can actually put this amount of hours constantly (am talking 60h!!!) is mind blowing. Maybe my brain is just different and it can't do more than the regular hours.
