I "worked" 40-hour weeks at an insurance company with tons of process, paperwork, reliance on other teams with constrained resources, etc. for 4 months and accomplished nothing. When I arrived the bug software had 40 open bugs. When I ended my contract, the bug software had 4 open bugs and 36 bugs awaiting QA resources to be assigned. I'm not exaggerating. I've seen companies with departments that work 40 hour weeks, and accomplish pretty much nothing at all. For various reasons.
