> 10 hours per day! You worked at one of the nicer places then. Next you'll be telling me they gave you more than one toilet break a day and even let you out from time-to-time to find food. > I couldn't take the hours, honestly. The place I worked I was ended up sleeping under the desk and doing 20hr days to make crunches.

I think all of this is also completely unnecessary. Work-life balance is necessary if you want to have a family and enjoy it - that means you need weekends off, and you need standard business hours. Otherwise, it messes up daycare, evening children events and the split of chores between you and your significant other (which will lead to fights.)
