My DH definitely worked those hours when he was military, especially when he was in command. He is a fed now and works at least 55-60 hours a week.

It's common to work 12 hours 5 days a week? No, and it's sad you think so.

Yet you're on DCUM instead of working.

+1. I have found that people are either exaggerating OR they are taking 60 hours to do work that could be done in 40 because they're on facebook, chit chatting at the water cooler, etc. Exhibit A ^

I work in a law firm, so I definitely believe it. I don't personally do it, but I see people who do everyday.

If you worked 70 hours a week you'd take breaks every now and then too.

60 hours a week is common. What's so hard to believe about it?

I think it depends on the field. That's very much possible in the medical field. Doctors in training, residents, have to work long hours, especially surgical residents. They are on-call around the clock. Nurses have to work mandatory overtime. That's after a 12 hour shift!

I had a job where I was pretty much always on call. I think because I was taking phone calls at 5 am and 11 pm, it *felt* like I was working 18 hour days sometimes, even if I really wasn't.

I agree. My husband used to tell people he works 60 and really he worked closer to 30.

Now he claims he travels 20-30 percent of the time. It's more like 20-30 nights a year.

I mean, come on. More than 10 hours a day every single day? I don't buy it.
