That just cannot be healthy. Ther are people in this country too that have a schedule not unlike yours -- but those are the kind of people who have an ulcer by the time they turn 40, and have an heart attack by the time they turn 45.That adds up to 67.5 hours at the office
Wow, your salary is *that* high? It is pretty much standard over here that in certain jobs (typically in higher management) you do not get paid overtime, but those people then have monthly salaries that are written in *five* digits.I don't get overtime, Jeroen, so that doesn't help much :-)
Such pay is awfully nice of course, but I do not believe it would be worth the 60+ hours each week and the health risks. I am quite happy already with my four-digit salary (although there is room for improvement there!) and my 42-hour work week (which includes 4 hours per week of commute and 2 hours worth of lunch breaks).
