So basically they are discriminating against people who would like to see their children? 90 hours per week == 12.86 hours per day. That means I clock in close to 7AM and clock out at 8PM every day of the week. This excludes any travel time, meals, etc. My wife called the first two years of graduate school her "grad-student widow years". Even now on occasion I put in that much time, but a consistent 70-90 hour work week is unsustainable if you value family life.

- arkadiytehgraet 9y agoI don't understand why is it a "discrimination". Yes, even 50 hour week severely limits family time; so what? Just do not apply then, especially since they are totally upfront about the desired working hours. It is not as if you do not have choice - you are already employed, and if you were to switch jobs - there are plenty of places available with sustainable work-life balance. Some people are willing to put in actual effort and time in the work (and get compensated for it accordingly); removing the 70+ hour week part of the job would be the very same "discrimination" against them.
- thecolorblue 9y agoThe other option is they are looking for people who are comfortable getting less than 8 hours of sleep a night. This is also not healthy, but can be done.
- scarface74 9y agoHow is this "discrimination"? You have a choice. You can decide to take the job or not. At least they are up front about it. For me personally, there isn't enough money you could pay me to work 90 hours a week.
