>Part of this is when your work life becomes your social life. Particularly in startups, being at work can be a mix of actual work and chatting, getting lunch, having a drink and a good time. But they still count that all as work time, which is... silly, and brings lie to this idea that you can productively work 80+ hour weeks. Just hanging out with the gang at the office isn't work. I mean, if you count 'being around people who are employees of the company' as work, it is actually fairly rare that I don't work a 20+ hour day.
