I find it funny that there’s a group of people who say “20-30 hour work weeks result in major productivity gains” meanwhile others say “I want to work 2x 40 hour jobs!”
In other words, should an employer require you to have work life balance by not having more than 8 hours of work obligation per day?
The common answer to this is “it doesn’t matter as long as the work gets done” but I don’t buy it. Engineering isn’t like flipping burgers at McDonald’s. Output is impacted by overworking.

An employer should get what they pay for -- which is the value of the labor and time of the employee. No more and no less.
