I generally consider myself a pro-capitalist rational optimist, but we are a lot richer than we were 100 years ago, and my workweek is still 50+ hours a week. I wonder when we will get those 10 hour workweeks...
- ktRolster 11y agoWhy are you working 50 hours a week? I hope you're getting compensated extra for the extra work you're doing.
- logicfiction 11y agoI don't know OP's situation, but there are companies out there that will upfront tell you expected hours for your salaried position being X. A few years ago, a recruiter told me 65 hours was expected for a role at their mega-tech company.
