[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. It's vanishingly rare. People wildly overreport how many hours they work when asked, compared to time use surveys (where people log time as they do things). I was just reading about this - according to a study, the average person who claimed to work 75 hours a week actually worked 55. The average person who claimed to be working 60-69 hours per week was actually working 52.6. The average person claiming to work 70, 80, and 90 hours a week were all working less than 60 hours a week.[/quote] As a lawyer, people absolutely work those 80-100+ hour weeks at trial. You are working every moment you are awake and sleep is rare. Often a $1b+ dollar patent case gets about 1 week in court, so every moment matters. There's also a support staff providing all food and needs, so you don't do anything except sleep and work.[/quote]
