I agree, but why do we need to make it 50+ hours? What if they only worked 35 hours a week with horrible shifts at different times and no consistency at a non-physically demanding job? Work is still work unless you’re living your passion, the mainstream outside of tech work to put food on the table and they put up with a lot compared to the worst days we have in tech. Anyway just frustrated lately with this idea you have to work 60 or 80 hours a week instead of strategically.



Not the GP but I use 50+ hours as an example often because most people have worked unpaid overtime at one point in their life. Most people haven't done your strangely specific multi-job 35 hour thing.

It's about having a relatable example, that's it.
