In demanding industries, people spend 2/3rds of their waking hours around their coworkers.

If you sleep 8 hours/night, this means you're spending 75 hours/week with your co-workers. That seems... a bit excessive?

Should've clarified. I meant for the 5 working days. 10/16 hours.

That doesn't seem all that unusual for the Silicon Valley darlings. The days of FAANG employees playing table-tennis all day and heading home at 4:30 ended a while ago
