I like that philosophy. 40 focused hours. My wife is an accountant and so she has to work 65 hour weeks during tax season (Jan to April). I think it makes sense to work overtime in this case (and she gets paid time and a half). And even then based on what she's told me about her workdays, most of the time is spent doing bullshit (important but bullshit work like scanning papers or hounding clients to send in paperwork). I feel like there are tangible things that management could do that would reduce the amount of bullshit, like actually adhering to the document submission deadline, or requiring clients to scan paperwork themselves, but whatever, I don't know anything about running an accounting firm. But 72 hour weeks for a shitty AI wrapper for the same salary that someone working 40h weeks? Pass.
