80 hours of overtime per month? 20 hours per week? He died of overwork when he worked 60-hour weeks?
It's tragic that he's dead, but it's nonsense to think that 'overwork' was the main factor.
- dangoldin 18y agoI agree, based on the article it seems to be the stress of the job rather than the hours worked that he died of.
- hello_moto 18y agoThose hours contributes to the stress no?
- byrneseyeview 18y agoI am more stressed out by the prospect of failure than by working a little extra for a little while.
- dangoldin 18y agoI'd probably say the stress contributed to the hours. If I know there is a lot of pressure on me to finish something by a deadline, I'll end up working more hours to get it done. Not the other way around.
