My comment is directed to the argument the author makes that working 60 hours a week is a horrible thing and, indeed, exploitative. I could not disagree more.

Speaking as an employee of several businesses (;D) I disagree. I've seen managers make unrealistic schedules all the time AND fail to deliver. This practice results in low morale, low work-quality and increased turnover.




Respectfully, your point is due to lack of proper execution, not the notion that very few amazing accomplishments are achieved by those who seek 8-5 work.
