I agree in the literal way, but if you're kept captive for 95 hours regardless, does the distinction of work vs being present really matter? I doubt they're able to schedule anything meaningful for personal growth/enjoyment (e.g. dinner with friends?).

The end outcome is that it hurts the employee. The survey was for 13 people, but it still saddens me to see that they unanimously agreed on having negative relationships with friends/family due to their work. Those are harder (and sometimes impossible) to repair...

They are not being kept captive. They are freely contracting to be in this situation. They presumably did well in university and are highly employable.

Right. Plus people vastly underestimate the long term health impact from that kind of lifestyle.

The other thing is if you're a client, this should terrify you. Nobody working those kinds of hours can maintain anything resembling a clear head with good judgement.
